Lee'S Tackle Flush Mount Rod Holders

Lee's Tackle: The Flush Mount Rod Holder Specialist

When it comes to flush mount rod holders, few names carry the weight that Lee's Tackle does. Founded in 1920, this fourth-generation, family-owned American manufacturer has spent over a century engineering precision sportfishing equipment trusted by both serious offshore anglers and boat builders worldwide. Their flush mount rod holders aren't an afterthought in the catalog — rod holders are the very cornerstone of what Lee's Tackle was built on.

An Unmatched Range of Models

Browse the full selection of flush mount rod holders and you'll quickly understand why Lee's stands apart: the brand manufactures over 46 different models of flush mount rod holders, offering a level of variety that few competitors can approach. Anglers can choose from two tube sizes — Medium (2" O.D.) for standard applications and Heavy Duty (2-1/4" O.D.) for big-game setups — and three distinct mounting angles: 0°, 15°, and 30°. Whether you're deep-dropping, kite fishing, or trolling offshore, Lee's has a geometry designed for the task.

Construction & Finishing Quality

Every Lee's flush mount rod holder is crafted from marine-grade stainless steel built to withstand the corrosive saltwater environment. What sets the finishing process apart is that all rod holders are polished by hand, then electropolished — a two-step process that delivers a mirror-like surface and an additional layer of corrosion resistance. The result is hardware that looks as sharp as it performs, even after years of hard use on the water.

Signature Swivel Base Technology

Among Lee's most celebrated flush mount offerings is their Swivel Base Rod Holder lineup. Primarily designed for bent-butt tackle, the swivel base allows the rod butt to rotate inside the holder when side pressure is applied to the rod tip. This engineering detail is especially critical during Giant Bluefin Tuna battles, where reel drags can reach 60 pounds and rigid pin holders are prone to shearing. The swivel mechanism lets the rod tip follow the fish, reducing line fraying and improving control. Torque resistance is finely tunable via two nylon drag washers and a stainless steel lock nut at the base.

Trusted by Boat Manufacturers

Lee's flush mount rod holders are not just a consumer favorite — they are the choice of boat manufacturers who spec them directly into new builds. That level of OEM trust speaks to the consistency of fit, finish, and long-term durability that Lee's delivers across their entire flush mount lineup. As a company whose designs have been widely imitated but never equaled, Lee's continues to set the benchmark in this category.
