Stainless Steel Flush Mount w/ Swivel Base

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.

Designed for serious anglers, the Lee's Tackle RH575 stainless steel swivel base rod holder offers exceptional durability and functionality for saltwater fishing. Its flush mount design ensures a sleek, low-profile installation on your boat, providing a secure hold for your fishing rods while allowing for easy access and quick removal. The 2.25-inch diameter opening accommodates a wide range of standard rods, with a 10.5-inch tube length that supports both bent butt and straight butt tackle systems. Constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, this rod holder is built to withstand harsh marine environments and frequent use.

The unique swivel base feature allows the rod butt to rotate when side pressure is applied, making it particularly useful for targeting large species such as bluefin tuna. This rotation capability helps prevent sheared pins by reducing stress on the holder and allows the rod tip to follow the fish's movement more naturally. It also minimizes line fraying and enhances drag performance by preventing the line from streaming sideways over the roller tip. When used with straight butt rods, the swivel can be manually rotated to keep the line on the roller tip, improving fishing efficiency.

Adjusting the torque for rotation is straightforward, thanks to two nylon drag washers and a 1/2-inch stainless steel lock nut at the base of the holder. This feature offers customizable resistance to suit different fishing styles and conditions, ensuring that your rod stays secure yet accessible. Whether you are fishing for giant bluefin tuna or other large gamefish, the Lee's Tackle RH575 rod holder provides a reliable, versatile, and professional-grade solution for your boat's rod storage needs.
