Dock and Wall Mounted Fishing Rod Holder
In this post, we’ll cover what makes dock rod holders useful, how to choose the right type for your needs, and how to install a dock rod holder to begin with. We’ll also go into more detail on how our efficient system serves a dual purpose and helps you solve two storage problems at once.
Whether you enjoy fishing from your boat, a skiff, a kayak, or from the pier, we have many products to help you store your fishing equipment. See how in this post!
Why Dock Rod Holders are Helpful
Any avid fishing enthusiast will tell you that fishing rod holders can be useful for multiple reasons. First, storage. Fishing rod holders will keep your rods off the ground and out of the way, untangled and organized, and ready to go at a moment’s notice. Second, multitasking while fishing. Rod holders keep your fishing rod within easy reach when baiting a hook, unhooking a fish, and performing other tasks that require two hands. A set of rod holders also lets you fish with multiple rods, helping you get more fishing lines out there to catch more fish.
Choosing the Right Type of Fishing Rod Holder
You may or may not be aware that there are different types of rod holders for different needs. There are a few deciding factors to keep in mind, like where you’ll want to install it, what material it’s made out of, and the angle of installation.
And there are a ton of options out there. When it comes to boat rod holders you can choose a fixed mount, removable, swivel/pivot, vertical, or horizontal. Today though, we’ll focus on wall-mounted rod holders for docks. Whether you choose to install it on your dock or in your garage, the sturdy mounting system will stay in place once screwed in. All you have to do is choose the location that’s most convenient for you.
To give you a better understanding of fishing rod holders for docks (especially versatile ones), here are the product features for our’s:
-
-
- Fishing rod holder suitable for docks, walls, or garages
-

Rod holders come in a range of materials such as aluminum, fiberglass, nylon, plastic, or stainless steel. Some are preferable for affordability, others for durability, or their weatherproof quality. Our dock & wall mounts are crafted with top quality, ¼” powder-coated aluminum. Not only is it strong but it’s made to last. It holds up impressively well against the elements, making it ideal for both saltwater and freshwater docks.
Finally, our set of dock rod holders comes with the option of either a 15° angle, 30° angle, or one of each. 15° rod holders store rods in an upright position that’s out of the way and usable for fishing off the edge of the dock. Meanwhile, 30° dock rod holders allow the rod to stay more horizontal with the tip closer to the water.

Solve Two Problems at Once: Dual Purpose Dock Rod Holder
The best part about rod holders for docks? They serve more than one purpose; ours do, at least. Not only can it hold and store your fishing rods, but it also holds our rack systems; the S1, S2, B2, and L2K. This means you can store your paddleboards, kayaks, wakeboards, and surfboards on your dock with ease! Just insert the Manta Rack into the dock rod holder for the perfect storage solution. It works for storing wakeboards and water skis too. Want to fish off your dock while others are out kayaking? Remove the Manta Rack System and set up your fishing rod.
These dock rod holders are designed specifically with Manta Rack Systems in mind. Other, generic brand rod holders will not support the weight of the Manta System while storing boards or kayaks. When not using your boards or kayaks, place the racks into the dock rod holder mounts and you’re ready to store your boards or kayaks off the floor and out of the way. Keep in mind that the dock rod holder must be at the same angle as your rack system. If your Manta Racks System is 15° or 30°, select the correct angle when purchasing the dock rod holder. Or better yet, match them with the rod holder angles in your boat and you will have a dual purpose use.
How to Install a Dock Rod Holder
Straightforward design makes the dock rod holder simple to install. It can be mounted on just about any vertical surface. It’s commonly mounted on either the wall of a garage or storage unit, or a dock piling. For the best dock fishing, we recommend installing the rod holder near the end of the dock furthest in the water. For our rod holders, all it takes is drilling four screws into the wall or post and bam, the job is done!
