The Lee's 15� Stainless Steel Swivel Base Flush Mount Rod Holder, part number RH5169H, is designed for marine applications requiring robust rod support. This medium-sized rod holder features a 2" OD x 6.5" long tube and a 15� half-angle, making it suitable for stand-up rods, particularly those with curved butts. Its primary function is to allow the rod butt to rotate within the holder when lateral pressure is applied to the rod tip. This mechanism is beneficial for managing high-drag situations, such as those encountered in giant bluefin tuna fishing, by reducing stress on the rod holder pin and allowing the rod tip to track the fish. This can mitigate line fraying and improve drag efficiency. The swivel tension is adjustable via two nylon drag washers and a 1/2-inch stainless steel lock nut. While optimized for bent butt tackle, it also functions as a standard rod holder for straight butt rods, which can be manually rotated. This product is intended for serious sportsmen requiring durable and adaptable rod management solutions.
This rod holder is primarily designed for stand-up rods with curved butts, but it can also be used with straight butt rods. Its swivel base is particularly beneficial for bent butt tackle.
The rod holder features a tube with a 2-inch outer diameter (OD) and a length of 6.5 inches.
The swivel base allows the rod butt to rotate, enabling the rod tip to follow the fish. This reduces the possibility of line fraying, enhances drag efficiency by keeping the line aligned with the roller tip, and prevents sheared rod holder pins in high-pressure situations.
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.
