Cisco Fishing Systems

Cisco Fishing Systems machines its rod holders, tracks and mounts in the USA around the Sure-Stop track: an aluminum track with a machined stop system that keeps holders and accessories from sliding under load. Holders lock in and index to set angles, which matters when a dipsey diver is pulling hard all day.

The line covers the full trolling setup — single, double and triple tube holders, cradle-style holders for rods with long handles, vertical and indexable tree masts for planer board spreads, electric and manual planer reels and masts, and telescopic boom downriggers. Rail mounts and thumbscrew mounts fit boats that can't take a permanent track, and the cross plates and adapter plates tie Cisco gear into other brands' downriggers.

Cisco lead times are seasonal — a couple of business days in the slower months and longer in spring — so ordering before the rush beats ordering during it. Building a spread from scratch?
