Lee's Tackle RH5167V 0 Degree Stainless Steel Flush Mount Swivel Base Rod Holder 2" x 6.5"

The Lee's Tackle RH5167V is a vertical 0-degree flush mount swivel base rod holder designed for serious sportfishing applications. This medium-size short swivel base rod holder features a 2-inch outer diameter tube with a 6.5-inch length, specifically engineered 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
• Prevents sheared rod holder pins, even under extreme loads up to 60 pounds of drag pressure
• Enables rod tip to follow the fish, reducing line fraying and drag
• Adjustable torque control via nylon drag washers and stainless steel lock nut
• Premium stainless steel construction for durability in saltwater environments
• Functions as standard rod holder when used with straight butt rods
• Flush mount installation for clean, low-profile appearance

This swivel base rod holder is essential equipment for big game fishing, particularly for Giant Bluefin Tuna and other large species where heavy drag settings create tremendous forces on tackle. The rotating base allows line to stream properly through the roller tip rather than sideways, improving fighting efficiency and reducing equipment failure. The swivel tension is easily adjusted with a 1/2-inch stainless steel lock nut at the base, allowing customization for different fishing conditions and rod weights.
