Lee'S Tackle

A Century of Saltwater Fishing Innovation

Few names carry as much weight on the water as Lee's Tackle, Inc. Founded in 1920 by Roswell E. Lee, Sr., this Wilmington, North Carolina company has spent over a century earning the trust of serious saltwater anglers. As a fourth-generation, family-owned business, Lee's Tackle has never lost sight of the craftsmanship and ingenuity that launched it — and that commitment shows in every product they make.

Roswell Lee's contributions to the sport fishing world were nothing short of revolutionary. He pioneered the use of aluminum tubing in outrigger construction and developed the patented Roller Top fishing rod, innovations that reshaped how anglers rig and fish offshore. Those early breakthroughs set the tone for a brand that has continued to push the envelope for over 100 years.

Rod Holders Built for the Serious Angler

Lee's Tackle is perhaps best known for its extraordinary range of rod holders. With more than 46 distinct models available, the lineup covers virtually every mounting scenario and fishing style imaginable. Their flush mount rod holders are a flagship category — engineered for clean, low-profile installation directly into the gunwale or deck of a boat, keeping rods secure and out of the way without sacrificing access. Whether you're trolling for marlin or waiting on a bottom bite, a flush mount done right makes all the difference.

For anglers who need versatility, Lee's Tackle also produces adjustable rod holders that allow precise angle positioning, as well as a dedicated line of fishing rod holders suited to a variety of boat types and fishing applications.

Outriggers with a Legacy of Performance

Lee's Tackle's heritage in outrigger design runs deep. Their outriggers and accessories reflect decades of refinement, with poles available in lengths up to 46 feet. Built with the same aluminum expertise that defined the brand's early innovations, these outriggers are designed for the demands of serious offshore and bluewater fishing — delivering the spread control that tournament anglers depend on.

Organized and Ready on the Water

Keeping rods protected and organized between runs is just as important as having the right holder while fishing. Lee's Tackle addresses this with a practical range of rod and reel storage racks — sturdy, thoughtfully designed solutions for keeping your arsenal safe and tangle-free whether you're at the dock or underway.
