Heavy-Tackle Storage for Boat or Home
The Game Series is the purpose-built heavy-duty rack from Ultimate Rod Racks, designed for anglers running bent butt game rods, oversized reels, and offshore tackle systems.
Built on the GunnelCore™ modular platform, it delivers secure support for big gear on the water — and tidy storage when you’re back at home — without locking you into a single mounting style or location.
Designed for Game Gear — Built to Adapt
Unlike fixed racks, the Game Series supports a range of rod layouts.
The standard 3+2 setup holds three bent butt rods vertically, plus two straight rods.
Users who prefer straight storage can run up to five rods depending on reel spacing. the 3+2 IS 190mm centres and the 4 Mate Series is 260mm centres
Adjustability allows the rack to sit lower and closer to the deck, improving stability and access for heavy outfits.
Key Features
🟦 Multiple Rod Layouts
• 3 × bent butts + 2 × straight (standard)
• Up to 5 straight rods (reel dependent)
• Swap holders to suit your set Ups at a later date.
Each Mate series is ABS plastic with + in the bottom and Cup holders
🟦 Adjustable Positioning
GunnelCore™ architecture allows height, angle, and spacing adjustments to suit your boat and gear.
🟦 Engineered for Heavy Outfits
Wide-set stance provides balanced support for large game reels and bent butt leverage whether trolling, drifting, or underway.
🟦 Marine EVA — Included
Every Game Series rack now includes:
• High-grade EVA protection
• Reduced vibration and rattle
• Protection for alloy, paint, and wrap finishes
• Added grip on boat surfaces
No upgrade required — EVA is supplied standard on every build.
🟦 Boat + Home Use
Use the same rack:
• On the boat
• In the garage or shed
• For transport (secured — skipper discretion recommended)
Add wall brackets for clean home storage and wash-down use.
GunnelCore™ Compatible (Future-Proof Fitment)
Works with both GunnelCore™ adjustable backframes — meaning the rack can fit across a wide range of alloy and fibreglass coamings.
If you upgrade boats later, you don’t need a new rack — simply purchase the correct backframe for your new vessel.
Backframes are available separately on request, making the Game Series fully reusable and cost-effective long-term.
