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.
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 setup
🟦 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.
