Meet the Kilwell Longreach Outrigger Bases — a rugged, all-stainless solution engineered for serious offshore fishing. Designed to withstand saltwater, sun, and spray, these bases deliver steady, trouble‑free performance when you’re laying out outriggers for big‑game trolling.

Built for reliability and clean deck aesthetics, the Longreach bases feature an extended main tube that reaches 60 cm, paired with a 42 mm internal diameter to match standard outrigger poles. Concealed bolts in the mounting bases keep decks smooth and snag‑free, so you can move quickly between spots without catching lines or clothing.

Deployment is secure and predictable thanks to the locking scissor arm and an intuitive index pin on the pivot arm. When you deploy the outriggers, the bases lock firmly into position and stay aligned, eliminating flopping and drift as you chase offshore bites.

Key benefits and use cases

• Precise deployment every time: The index pin locks the bases in the deployed position, so you get consistent line‑out angles and predictable performance on the troll.
• Optimized outboard angle: In the fixed deployed position, the outriggers sit at an ideal 70 degrees from vertical for stable, broad spread and better bite distribution.
• Versatile mounting options: Bottom bases can be mounted on top of the gunwale or on the cabin side, offering flexible installation to suit your boat layout.
• Durable, corrosion‑resistant construction: All stainless steel construction delivers long‑lasting strength in harsh marine environments.
• Simple maintenance and operation: The extended main tube and concealed bolts keep maintenance straightforward while the locking mechanism ensures dependable use season after season.

What’s included and who it’s for: Kilwell Longreach Outrigger Bases are sold as a pair, making them ideal for anglers who want a balanced, symmetrical rig setup from day one. If you’re equipping a dedicated trolling vessel, these bases provide the stability and reliability you need for extended sessions offshore.

Why choose Kilwell for your outriggers? This pair carries Kilwell’s Limited Lifetime Warranty, underscoring a commitment to durability and performance. Whether you’re chasing marlin off tropical reefs or chasing tuna along the continental shelf, these bases are built to deliver steady, repeatable performance, making the investment worthwhile for serious saltwater anglers.

Practical tips: - When mounting on a new boat, verify clearance for the deployed outriggers to ensure full spread without interference with rails or cabin structures. - Periodically inspect the index pin and locking arm for smooth operation; light lubrication on moving joints can help maintain consistent deployment over time. - Pair these bases with standard 42 mm diameter outriggers for effortless compatibility and quick setup on fishing days.
