Lee'S Tackle

<h3>A Century of Saltwater Sport Fishing Innovation</h3><p><strong>Lee's Tackle</strong> is one of the most storied names in saltwater sport fishing, with a heritage stretching back to 1920. Lee's Tackle, Inc. is a fourth-generation, family-owned and operated business that began when Edward J. Lee opened a retail fishing store in Miami, Florida. Over the following decades, the brand evolved from a local shop into an industry-shaping manufacturer known around the world.</p><p>In the mid-1930s, motivated by his love of fishing and his passion for innovation, Roswell E. Lee, Sr. began manufacturing big game fishing reels, rod holders, and fighting chairs — and his innovative designs revolutionized the sport fishing industry. He was the first to use aluminum tubing in the fabrication of outriggers, and he also designed and patented the fishing rod Roller Top. These breakthroughs set the standard for a generation of tackle manufacturers, and many of those original designs remain in production today.</p><h3>Precision Engineering Built for Big Game Anglers</h3><p>The brand's success and reputation are the result of creative ideas, precision engineering, high-quality materials, and outstanding workmanship. Whether you're rigging a center console for a day offshore or outfitting a dedicated sport fishing yacht, Lee's Tackle builds components that serious anglers depend on.</p><p>The product line has expanded to include over 46 distinct rod holder models, 8 styles of outrigger holders, and outrigger poles from 11 to 46 feet in length, as well as many other miscellaneous sport fishing products. When it comes to rod holders, they are offered in more than 46 models for any application — including flush mount, swivel base, clamp-on, and other designs.</p><h3>Industry-Leading Outriggers</h3><p>At the heart of the Lee's Tackle lineup are their legendary <a href="/7426-lees-tackle-outriggers-accessories-202318">Outriggers &amp; Accessories</a>. More than 60 years ago, the Lee family pioneered the use of high-strength, cold-drawn, marine-grade aluminum to manufacture what became regarded as the world's strongest and most reliable outriggers. The MX8000 Pro Series riggers continue this tradition with superior strength, durability, and ease of operation for sport fishermen around the world. From compact poles suited to smaller center consoles to massive 46-foot rigs for offshore tournament fishing, Lee's Tackle offers a configuration for every boat and every budget.</p><h3>A Brand Trusted Worldwide</h3><p>Lee's Tackle leads the sport fishing industry with innovative ideas and precision engineering, and their designs continue to be the most copied throughout the industry — a testament to how far ahead of the curve the brand has always been. They were the first to make swivel base rod holders, aluminum clamp-on rod holders, and aluminum outriggers. For any angler who takes big game fishing seriously, Lee's Tackle represents the benchmark in quality and performance.</p>

Product Details

The Lee's Tackle RH5165 is a premium stainless steel flush mount swivel base rod holder designed for serious sportfishing applications. This medium-size short swivel base rod holder features a 30-degree angle and a 2" OD x 6.5" long tube, making it ideal for stand-up rods with curved butts.

Key Features:

  • Unique swivel base design allows rod butt to rotate when side pressure is applied to the rod tip
  • Eliminates sheared rod holder pins, even under extreme loads up to 60+ pounds of drag
  • Allows rod tip to follow the fish, reducing line fraying and drag
  • Adjustable torque control via two nylon drag washers and 1/2" stainless steel lock nut
  • Functions as standard rod holder when used with straight butt rods
  • Premium stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
  • Flush mount design for clean, low-profile installation

This swivel base rod holder is particularly valuable for big game fishing, including Giant Blue Fin Tuna, where heavy drags create tremendous forces on rod holder pins. The rotating base allows the line to stream properly through the roller tip instead of sideways, maintaining optimal line position and reducing wear. Rods are also easier to remove from the holder since they're not locked on a rigid pin. For straight butt rods, the holder can be manually rotated to keep the line on the tip's roller.

I searched the internet high and low for the JKS Quicker Disconnects and almost thought it was a scam when I found them for this price! The order was simple and the shipping was fast. I could not be happier!

Good price

Very pleased, affordable price and quick checkout.

Best prices online! Ordered a JBA performance exhaust and Airaid intake system for my 06 F-150. Was hesitant at first because I never heard of them but ordering was a breeze and saved me over $100 total for two items compared to anywhere else. Had package at my door in about 24 hours and even selected normal UPS ground shipping. Very satisfied and will definitely return!

WAS QUICK & EASY
