Lee-foots Tackle Bulkhead Mount RH570 Swivel Base Rod Holders

The swivel base rod holder by Lee-foots is the perfect option for serious sportsmen. It is specifically designed to be used with bent butt tackle, and its unique swivel base allows the rod butt to rotate when pressure is applied to the tip of the rod. This feature is particularly useful in Giant Blue Fin Tuna fishing, where high reel drags are commonly used, putting tremendous forces on the rod holder.

With the swivel base rod holder, sheared rod holder pins are a thing of the past. The rotating ability of the holder allows the rod tip to follow the fish, reducing the risk of line fraying and improving drag as the line streams sideways out of the roller tip instead of over it. Additionally, the rod is easier to remove from the holder since it is not locked on a rigid pin.

When used with straight butt rods, the swivel base holder functions as a standard rod holder. Straight butt rods can be manually rotated to keep the line on the tip's roller. The amount of torque needed to rotate the swivel can be adjusted by modifying the pressure on two nylon drag washers with a ½ inch stainless steel lock nut at the bottom of the rod holder.
