The Lee's 0 Degree SS Flush Mount Swivel Base Rod Holder (RH5367V) is a specialized stainless steel rod holder designed for marine applications. This medium-sized, flush-mount unit features a swivel base that allows a rod butt to rotate when lateral pressure is applied to the rod tip. This functionality is particularly beneficial for managing high-stress fishing scenarios, such as those encountered with bent butt tackle and heavy drag settings, by enabling the rod tip to track the fish's movement. It helps mitigate issues like line fraying, enhanced drag from sideways line streaming, and the potential for sheared rod holder pins. While primarily engineered for bent butt rods, it also functions with straight butt rods, which can be manually rotated. The rotational torque is adjustable via two nylon drag washers and a stainless steel lock nut. This product is suitable for IT hardware resellers serving clients in the marine or specialized outdoor equipment sectors.
This rod holder is primarily designed for use with bent butt tackle, allowing the rod butt to rotate under side pressure. It can also function as a standard rod holder for straight butt rods, which can be manually rotated.
The swivel base allows the rod tip to follow the fish, which can reduce line fraying, minimize enhanced drag from sideways line streaming, and prevent sheared rod holder pins, especially when using heavy drag settings.
Yes, the amount of torque required to rotate the swivel is adjustable. This is achieved by modifying the pressure on two nylon drag washers using a half-inch stainless steel lock nut located at the bottom of the rod holder.
The rod holder is constructed from stainless steel, as indicated by the 'SS' in its description and part number.
