Taylor Made 18in Aluminum Boat Flag Pole for Rod Holder
Taylor Made 18in Aluminum Boat Flag Pole for Rod Holder — Product description
The Taylor Made 18-inch aluminum flag pole is the simple way to fly a flag off your boat. It's sized to drop into a standard rod holder, so there's no drilling and no extra hardware to bolt on. Aluminum keeps it light and rust-free, and the fixed height means nothing works loose underway.
If you want a clean way to fly a flag off your boat, this Taylor Made aluminum pole does the job without any fuss. It's 18 inches of fixed-height aluminum, sized at 3/4 inch so the base drops straight into a standard rod holder. No drilling, no new hardware on the transom. You slide it in when you want a flag up, and pull it out when you're done.
Aluminum is the right call for anything that lives outside on a boat. It won't rust the way a steel pole would, and it shrugs off salt spray and sun season after season. It's light enough to stow in a locker when it's not in use. The fixed height keeps things simple too, there's nothing to adjust and nothing to work loose while you're underway.
It holds one flag at a time. Fly a courtesy flag when you're cruising into a new port, run your dive flag when someone's in the water, or show your yacht club burgee on the way out of the marina. The 18-inch length keeps a small-to-midsize flag visible without turning into a sail every time the wind picks up.
One thing to know before you order: this is the pole only. The flag isn't included, there's no separate mount in the box, and it doesn't ship with a storage bag. It's made to use the rod holder you already have, so most boaters won't need a mount anyway. If your rod holders are an odd size, measure the opening first, the pole base is 3/4 inch.
We like this one for anglers and cruisers who only want a flag up when they actually need it. Pull a rod, drop in the pole, and you're flying. When the fishing starts again, swap it back out. It's simple gear that does one thing and does it well.

Frequently asked questions
How does this flag pole mount to my boat?
It's built to drop into a standard rod holder. The 3/4-inch base slides right in, so you don't need to drill the transom or add any hardware. Pull your rod, drop in the pole, and you're set.
Does it come with a flag?
No. This is the pole only. The flag isn't included, so you'll add your own courtesy flag, dive flag, or burgee.
Is a mount included?
No separate mount ships in the box. It's designed to use a rod holder you already have on the boat, so most folks won't need one.
What size flag works on an 18-inch pole?
A small-to-midsize flag is the sweet spot. The 18-inch length keeps the flag visible without catching so much wind that it strains the pole or the rod holder.
Will it rust?
No. It's aluminum, so it won't rust the way a steel pole would. It handles salt spray and sun without corroding.
Can I adjust the height?
No, this is a fixed-height pole at 18 inches. There's nothing to telescope or loosen, which means nothing works its way loose while you're underway.
