The Lee's Stainless Steel Swivel Base Flush Mount Rod Holder is engineered for serious offshore anglers who demand more from their gear. The rotating swivel base lets the rod butt turn freely under side load, so the rod tip tracks the fish rather than locking against a rigid pin — a critical advantage when fighting large bluefin tuna with drag settings pushing 60 pounds. Sheared holder pins become a non-issue, line fraying from sideways pressure through the roller tip is reduced, and rod removal stays straightforward even under tension. With straight-butt rods, the swivel functions as a standard holder and can be manually rotated to keep the line on the tip roller. Swivel torque is dialed in by tightening two nylon drag washers via a ½-inch stainless steel lock nut at the base.
