Better than advertised

I didn't really know what to expect as I usually get my sinkers at a beachshop. These were better. Clean and new looking as if just pored. Very satisfied with my purchase!

Best UV Sea Witch hair available. Measure out the hair on scale prior to tying. That way it is balanced out. Capt. Ryan Van Fleet Good Karma Sportfishing-Florida Keys. Wahoo love this stuff.

Epic Fishing Co Deep Drop Weights - Hand-Poured Lead Sinker - Tilefish Grouper Snowy
David F.
Perfect measurements and weight

Used this differently than its intended design. I made raft oars counter balances from them. Previously used steel 4lb mounted on the exterior near the grips. These I was able to install into the shaft and at 5lbs was able to get the weight away from the grips. Both oars took about 30 minutes. Another bonus is the seller got the weights to me in 4 days vice 12 Amazon predicted.

great bonito bait

Used these jigs this week and crushed the bonito on the east coast. This is a good bait to mimic the small bait fish in our area. Also great pack for a 2 pack. I bought a few different colors.

Clarkspoon Shad Jigs - 2 Pack Bucktail Jig - King Mackerel Bluefish Inshore Fishing
Brad B.
Awesome bait for Hybrid striped Bass.

Purchased these and first trip out boated several very nice Hybrids. The fish were in 5-7lb range. The bait falls fast and the hooks are very sharp for solid hook ups. Glad I had an extra one because I gave it to my buddy in the boat and he immediately hooked up. These baits worked so well, I ordered several more. I also referred several of my friends to the site to order this bait.

Build a Fighting Station Anywhere on Your Boat

Not every boat has a dedicated fighting chair. Most center consoles and smaller boats have a cooler in the cockpit and nothing else. The Seamount Cool Gimbal fixes that. Bolt it or adhesive-mount it to the top of your fish box, cooler, or any flat surface and you have a rod gimbal that holds your rod butt securely during a fight.

This is not a cheap plastic rod holder. The polycarbonate body is rated for serious impacts and will not crack or shatter under rod load. The stainless steel pin and hardware handle the lateral forces of a fish fight without bending. At $49.99, it costs a fraction of a built-in fighting chair and works on any boat. Combine it with the Seamount Fish Fighting Belt and the Charles Perry Pro Harness for a complete DIY big game fighting setup.

Polycarbonate Construction

Polycarbonate is the same material used in bullet-proof glass, safety shields, and aviation canopies. It is virtually unbreakable under normal fishing loads. Unlike standard plastics that crack in cold weather or UV exposure, polycarbonate maintains its strength and clarity for years.

Universal Mounting Options

Install with through-bolts for a permanent mount or use 3M 5200 marine adhesive for a bond that holds under heavy load. The 4" x 4" footprint fits on cooler lids, fish box covers, gunwale caps, and other flat surfaces. Two mounting methods mean you can install it on any boat.

Stainless Steel Hardware

All metal components are stainless steel for saltwater corrosion resistance. The gimbal pin that holds your rod butt is stainless and will not bend or corrode. The combination of polycarbonate body and stainless hardware creates a gimbal that handles both abuse and saltwater.

How to Install the Seamount Cool Gimbal

1. Choose your mounting location - cooler top, fish box, gunwale cap, or any flat surface

2. Center the gimbal and mark the mounting holes with a pencil

3. For bolt mounting: drill holes, insert bolts from below, and tighten with washers and nuts

4. For adhesive mounting: clean both surfaces, apply 3M 5200 marine adhesive, press firmly, and let cure 24 hours

5. Test the mount by inserting a rod butt and applying lateral pressure

6. Pair with a Seamount fighting belt for a complete stand-up system

What surfaces can I mount this on? +
Any flat surface - cooler tops, fish box lids, gunwale caps, cutting boards, or custom platforms. The 4" x 4" footprint is compact enough for most locations. Use bolts or marine adhesive. Our gear essentials guide covers boat rigging basics.
Will the adhesive hold during a fish fight? +
3M 5200 is a permanent marine adhesive used for below-waterline bonding. Once cured, it holds under extreme loads. Clean both surfaces thoroughly before applying for maximum bond strength. Our tuna guide covers stand-up fighting gear.
Do I need a fighting belt with this gimbal? +
Highly recommended. The gimbal holds the rod butt, but a Seamount Fish Fighting Belt supports the rod weight against your body. Together they form a complete stand-up system that lets you fight big fish without a chair.
What rod butts fit this gimbal? +
Standard cross-pin rod butts used on conventional offshore rods fit the gimbal. Most offshore rods in the 20-80 lb class range use compatible butt styles. Check your rod butt for a cross-pin or flat bottom that seats in the gimbal cup. See our rod action guide for rod specifications.
Can I remove it later? +
Bolt-mounted gimbals remove easily by unscrewing the bolts. 3M 5200 adhesive is permanent and very difficult to remove without damaging the surface. If you may want to remove it later, use bolts. Browse our offshore gear for more mounting options.
Is this strong enough for marlin or tuna? +
The polycarbonate body and stainless hardware handle serious rod loads. The limiting factor is your mounting surface. A cooler top is fine for tuna and mahi. For marlin, bolt through a solid surface with backing plates for maximum holding power. See our bluefin tuna guide for big game stand-up gear.
