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.

The Lee's Tackle RH579H stainless steel swivel base flush mount rod holder is engineered for serious anglers who demand durability and functionality. Crafted from high-quality stainless steel, this rod holder is designed to withstand harsh marine environments and heavy-duty use. Its unique swivel base allows for smooth rotation of the rod butt, providing increased control and reducing stress on the rod and line during intense fishing sessions. This feature is particularly beneficial when targeting large species like giant bluefin tuna, where reel drag can reach 60 pounds, exerting tremendous force on the rod holder. The ability of the swivel base to rotate when side pressure is applied helps prevent sheared pins, a common issue with traditional fixed holders, and promotes better line management by allowing the rod tip to follow the fish naturally. The design also facilitates easier removal of the rod, as it is not locked onto a rigid pin, making it more convenient for anglers to switch rods or reel in catches quickly. The holder functions as a standard rod holder with straight butt rods, which can be manually rotated to keep the line on the roller tip. The tension of the swivel can be finely tuned by adjusting two nylon drag washers with a 1/2 inch stainless steel lock nut at the base, providing customized resistance suitable for different fishing conditions. This versatile and robust rod holder is ideal for both offshore and recreational fishing, offering reliability and ease of use in demanding scenarios. Its flush mount installation ensures a secure fit on your boat, maintaining a clean profile while providing maximum strength and stability.
