Without a doubt the Lee s Tackle Inc. Swivel Base Flush Mount Rod Holder is the ultimate rod holder for the serious sportsman. Designed to be used with bent butt tackle this rod holder features a unique swivel base that allows the rod butt to rotate when side pressure is applied to the tip of the rod. This feature is especially important in Giant Blue Fin Tuna fishing where reel drags up to 60 pounds are frequently used resulting in tremendous forces being applied to the rod holder pin. With this swivel base rod holder sheared rod holder pins are a thing of the past and the tip of the rod can follow the fish reducing the possibility of line fraying and enhanced drag. The rod is also more easily removed from the holder since it is not locked on a rigid pin. This rod holder functions as a standard rod holder when used with straight butt rods which 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.Specifications Half Angle: 15° Tub Material: Stainless Steel Mount Type: Flush Mount Swivel Base: Yes Tube Length: Extra LongFeatures Designed for use with bent butt tackle Allows rod butt to rotate when side pressure is applied Reduces possibility of line fraying and enhanced drag Easily removable rod Functions as a standard rod holder with straight butt rods Adjustable torque for swivel rotation – SKU: ZX9CW31167
