The Lee's Sidewinder Backing Plate for Bolt-In Holders is an essential reinforcement component designed for serious anglers and boaters who demand reliable rod holder installations. Whether you're mounting on a center console, transom, or hardtop, this backing plate distributes mounting stress across a wider surface area, preventing deck damage and ensuring your rod holders stay secure through years of heavy use.
Built by Lee's Tackle—a name trusted in saltwater and freshwater applications—this component solves a common problem: bolt-through installations without proper backing can crack composite decks, fiberglass, or aluminum over time. This backing plate uses precision engineering to create a solid foundation for bolt-in rod holder mounting, significantly increasing the bearing surface beneath your fasteners. Its durable construction handles the vibration and stress that rod holders endure when fighting large fish or cruising rough water.
Anglers installing Lee's rod holders on gelcoat or composite decks will see immediate value. The Sidewinder profile is specifically engineered for Lee's bolt-in holder systems, ensuring proper alignment and a gap-free fit that prevents water intrusion and corrosion around your mounting points. This backing plate is crucial for achieving a permanent installation that withstands the rigors of marine environments.
