Medium size Short Swivel Base for Stand-Up Rods with Curved Butts. Has 2" OD x 6-1/2" long tube.
Without a doubt, our swivel base rod holder is the Ultimate Rod Holder for the serious sportsman. Primarily designed to be used with bent butt tackle, the rod holders unique swivel base allows the rod butt to rotate in the rod holder when side pressure is applied to the tip of the rod. This is an indispensable tool, especially important in Giant Blue Fin Tuna fishing, where reel drags in the neighborhood of 60 pounds are frequently used and can result in tremendous forces being applied to the rod holder pin.
Not only does this make sheared rod holder pins a thing of the past but, more importantly, it allows the tip of the rod to follow the fish. This reduces the possibility of line fraying and enhanced drag as the line streams sideways out of the roller tip instead of over the roller. The rod is also more easily removed from the holder since it is not locked on a rigid pin. The swivel base holder functions as a standard rod holder when used with straight butt rods. Straight butt rods can be manually rotated so that the line remains on the tips roller. The amount of torque required to rotate the swivel is set by adjusting the pressure on two nylon drag washers with a 1/2 inch stainless steel lock nut at the bottom of the rod holder.
The Lee's Tackle RH5167V is a premium stainless steel rod holder designed for serious anglers who demand durability and functionality. Featuring a vertical 0 short tube construction with a 2-inch outer diameter and a length of 6-1/2 inches, this medium-sized swivel base is ideal for stand-up rods with curved butts. Its robust design ensures secure hold and easy handling during demanding fishing conditions. The swivel base allows the rod to rotate smoothly when side pressure is applied, a critical feature for handling powerful fish like giant bluefin tuna. This rotation capability helps prevent sheared pins and reduces stress on the rod holder, ensuring long-term reliability and performance. The adjustable pressure on two nylon drag washers, secured by a 1/2-inch stainless steel lock nut, allows anglers to set the torque needed for different fishing scenarios, providing precise control over rod movement. This flexibility makes the RH5167V suitable for both bent and straight butt rods, functioning as a standard rod holder for the latter when manually rotated to keep the line on the roller tip. The design minimizes line fraying and enhances drag efficiency by allowing the rod tip to follow the fish naturally, reducing sideways line streaming. Whether used in offshore big game fishing or other demanding environments, this rod holder combines durability, adaptability, and ease of use in one dependable package. Its corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction ensures longevity in harsh marine conditions, making it an excellent choice for anglers who value quality and performance in their gear.
