The Lee's 0� Stainless Steel Swivel Base Flush Mount Rod Holder, part number RH5167V, is designed for marine fishing applications, specifically accommodating stand-up rods with curved butts. It features a 2-inch outer diameter and a 6.5-inch long tube. This rod holder is engineered to allow the rod butt to rotate when side pressure is applied to the rod tip, addressing issues like sheared rod holder pins under high drag, particularly in scenarios such as giant bluefin tuna fishing where drag forces can reach 60 pounds. This rotation helps the rod tip follow the fish, which can reduce line fraying and improve drag efficiency by preventing the line from streaming sideways over the roller. It also facilitates easier rod removal. While primarily intended for bent butt tackle, it functions as a standard rod holder for straight butt rods, which can be manually rotated. The rotational torque is adjustable via two nylon drag washers and a 1/2-inch stainless steel lock nut.
This rod holder is primarily designed for stand-up rods with curved butts. It can also function with straight butt rods, allowing for manual rotation to align the line with the rod tip's roller.
The rod holder features a 2-inch outer diameter (OD) tube that is 6.5 inches long. This medium-sized tube is suitable for small bent butts.
The swivel base allows the rod butt to rotate under side pressure, which can prevent rod holder pins from shearing, especially with high drag settings up to 60 pounds. This rotation also helps the rod tip follow the fish, reducing line fray and enhancing drag performance.
Yes, the amount of torque required to rotate the swivel can be adjusted. This is done by modifying the pressure on two nylon drag washers using a 1/2-inch stainless steel lock nut located at the bottom of the rod holder.
