Lee's Tackle 0° SS Swivel Base Flush Mount Rod Holder, 14.5" XL Tube

Experience the ultimate in rod security and fish-fighting capability with the Lee's Tackle RH577XL 0° Stainless Steel Swivel Base Flush Mount Rod Holder. Engineered for the serious sportsman, this extra-long tube rod holder is primarily designed to maximize performance with bent butt tackle, preventing sheared pins and reducing stress on your gear during intense battles with powerful fish like giant bluefin tuna, where drags can exceed 60 pounds. Its unique swivel base allows the rod tip to follow the fish's movement, minimizing line fray and optimizing drag performance. Proudly made in the USA, this rod holder is a robust and indispensable addition to any offshore fishing vessel.

Key Benefits & Features:

• Durable Marine-Grade Construction: Crafted from highly polished stainless steel for exceptional corrosion resistance and long-lasting durability in harsh freshwater and saltwater environments.
• Swivel Base Technology: The innovative swivel base allows the rod butt to rotate freely, eliminating rod holder pin shearing and easing rod removal, even under extreme pressure.
• Optimal Fish-Fighting Dynamics: Enables the rod tip to follow the fish, significantly reducing line abrasion and maintaining consistent drag by preventing line from streaming sideways over roller tips.
• Versatile Rod Compatibility: While optimized for bent butt rods, it functions as a standard rod holder for straight butt rods, which can be manually rotated to align the line with the roller tip.
• Adjustable Swivel Torque: Features a 1/2-inch stainless steel lock nut and two nylon drag washers, allowing anglers to precisely adjust the rotational torque of the swivel.
• Extra-Long Tube Design: The 14.5-inch extra-long tube with a 2.25-inch outer diameter is ideal for accommodating large bent butt rods, positioning the reel lower to reduce leverage and stress on the mounting surface.
• Flush Mount Integration: Designed for a sleek, flush mount installation with a 0° vertical rod angle, ensuring a low-profile look on your boat's gunwale.
