Lake Worth, FL (October 6, 2025) – Tigress Outriggers & Gear, a leader in premium fishing and marine equipment, continues to raise the bar in innovation and functionality with its complete line of rod holders, including Mate Series™ Combination Rod & Cup Holders and the new screwless rod holders. Both deliver boaters a clean, efficient, and reliable rigging experience, and they will be front and center at the upcoming International Boat Builders’ Exhibition & Conference (IBEX), October 7–9, 2025, at the Tampa Convention Center.
The Mate Series™ Combination Rod & Cup Holders have quickly become a favorite among boaters and anglers for their ability to streamline deck layouts without sacrificing utility. Instead of drilling two separate holes, one for a cup holder and one for a rod holder, Mate Series consolidates both functions into a single, innovative design. The result is fewer cutouts, a cleaner look, and a more organized deck that is easier to maintain over time. Beyond aesthetics, the design offers real-world benefits. Anglers can quickly swap a drink for a rod the moment a fish strikes, keeping the action moving without missing a beat.
Equally noteworthy is the Tigress screwless rod holder line. These holders deliver the same robust performance Tigress is known for, with an added focus on cosmetics and installation ease. By eliminating visible screws, these holders provide a seamless, polished appearance that complements today’s premium boat designs. With durable, marine-grade construction, Tigress rod holders are built to withstand the harshest conditions while delivering long-term reliability.
To further support boaters and builders, Tigress has developed detailed installation videos that walk users through the process of mounting and using its products. These resources ensure confidence and precision during installation, helping customers get the most out of their investment.
At IBEX 2025, Tigress Outriggers & Gear will display these innovations alongside its extensive lineup of outriggers, kite fishing accessories, and other high-performance marine products. IBEX is North America’s largest technical marine event, bringing together professionals from across the industry to experience the latest advancements in boat-building and rigging technology.
Visitors to IBEX can find Tigress and Eastern Metal Supply at the 2nd and 3rd Floor Exhibits, Booth 3-639. Attendees are encouraged to schedule an appointment with Boone Oughterson at [email protected] for a closer look at Tigress’ cutting-edge solutions.
