The all new Evolution 360 Bluewater Sports rotating rod holder is more of a revolution than an evolution. It completely revolutionises the conventional flush mount rod holder that bind you to a fixed rod position with no ability to adapt to environmental factors that can affect your rod and reel at any time while fishing.
Factors like wind, tide, current and wave action can all now be accounted for with these new rod holders, which allow you to rotate the rod up to 360 degrees and fine-tune its position with the push of a button and they come in three sleeve angles (0, 15 and 30 degrees) for even more flexibility. Adjust your spread and angles at will when trolling, drifting, at anchor or bottom fishing and bring your rod tip inboard to adjust your rig. You can now even turn your rods in to protect them when underway or docking.
The all new Evolution 360 Bluewater Sports Series rod holders are set to revolutionise your fishing experience.
The all new Evolution Series Coastal Classic (fixed) rod holders are going to compliment your rotating holders with this exciting new design to an old classic.
The all new Evolution Series Conventional holders are an exciting new look to enhance your boat with a style and grace to compliment your Evolution 360 Rotating holders.
This Evolution Coastal Classic series holder will give you the option of a retrofit solution to have your rotating and fixed holders with the same foot print, allowing for future changes in the desired configuration.
"Every boat should have these rod holders. I have fished on lots of Rivs and you can't reach the rod tip on the rigger rod to break a rubber band or undo a snap swivel. Very dangerous leaning out over the side on a rough day. If these rod holders are installed you can swivel the outfit back to a safe spot to complete the tasks at hand".

"What can I say “The Evolution 360 from Exploding Fish is awesome “ it’s perfect fit for my all-purpose 2250ultra centre cab Stabicraft. Weather I’m deep dropping with the boys or towing lures with the crew or catching table fish with the kids there is no other rod holder so versatile on the market that you can adjust the position with a push of a button to suit the style of fishing your doing. And to top it off these things are not only built like a brick shit house! But made from solid marine grade 316 stainless to last the distance. I’m hard on gear and I can’t kill these things in my mind these are a must have and I won’t own another boat without them".

"The Evolution 360 rod holders allow me to space out my spread and avoids the use of outriggers.
This is a significant time saving when the fish are active and the concurrency with other boats next to FAD is present on the water.
They also allow me to fish better for wahoo high speed trolling.
To top it all off , they are beautifull! "
