The Lees Tackle RH5369H is a 15-degree, stainless steel flush mount rod holder featuring a swivel base. This medium-sized rod holder, measuring 2" x 9", is designed for marine applications, particularly for serious sport fishing involving bent butt tackle. 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 in scenarios with high drag settings, such as Giant Blue Fin Tuna fishing, as it mitigates stress on the rod holder pin and prevents shearing. By enabling the rod tip to follow the fish, it helps reduce line fraying and maintains optimal line alignment over the roller tip. The swivel base also facilitates easier rod removal. For straight butt rods, the unit functions as a standard rod holder, with manual rotation possible. Torque adjustment for the swivel is managed via nylon drag washers and a stainless steel lock nut.
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 with straight butt rods, which can be manually rotated.
The rod holder measures 2 inches by 9 inches. It features a 15-degree angle for flush mounting.
The swivel base allows the rod tip to follow the fish, reducing stress on the rod holder pin, preventing line fraying, and enhancing drag performance by keeping the line aligned over the roller. It also makes rod removal easier.
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 half-inch stainless steel lock nut located at the bottom of the rod holder.
