Lee-foots Tackle Flush Mount Heavy 30 Degree Swivel Base Rod Holders

Our swivel base rod holder is the ultimate tool for serious sportsmen. It is specifically designed to be used with bent butt tackle. What sets this rod holder apart is its unique swivel base, which allows the rod butt to rotate within the holder when side pressure is applied to the rod tip. This feature is particularly important in Giant Blue Fin Tuna fishing, where powerful reel drags can exert tremendous force on the rod holder pin. With our swivel base rod holder, sheared rod holder pins are a thing of the past.

Not only does the swivel base prevent rod holder pins from breaking, but it also allows the rod tip to move with the fish. This reduces the risk of line fraying and improves drag as the line streams sideways out of the roller tip. Plus, removing the rod from the holder is easier because it is not locked onto a rigid pin.

When used with straight butt rods, the swivel base holder functions as a standard rod holder. Simply rotate the straight butt rod manually to keep the line on the tip's roller. Adjusting the amount of torque required to rotate the swivel is easy with the two nylon drag washers and ½ inch stainless steel lock nut located at the bottom of the rod holder.
