Gemlux Innovating into the Sportfish Realm

Dec 10, 2022

For years Gemlux has been a leader in stainless marine hardware for center console boats. Most people may not realize it but when you open that hatch and see that little star stamped on the latch that’s them.

It’s pretty common to see their stainless latches and rod holders on a wide range of center console boats. They were early innovators of the screwless rod holder and have constantly been improving their outrigger offering along with other plumbing, hardware and hinge options.

What mostly people don’t realize is they have quietly and systematically making inroads into the sportfish world. Over the past few years their heavy duty screwless rod holder is steadily becoming the new standard in both production and custom sportfish boats.

Gemlux has a new Viking sportfish boat that they have been using out in the wild. They are out doing R&D and developing more parts that will soon be available for sportfish boat including new advanced outriggers. We cant wait to see what’s coming soon.
