Lee's Stainless Steel Heavy Duty Bulkhead Mount w/Swivel Base 2.25" OD X 10.5" Tube

The Lee's Stainless Steel Heavy Duty Bulkhead Mount with Swivel Base features a 2.25" OD tube and 10.5" length, engineered for serious saltwater anglers who demand reliability under extreme fighting conditions. This swivel base rod holder is purpose-built for bent butt tackle applications, where the rod's swivel action absorbs side pressure applied to the tip without stressing the angler or the mounting hardware—a critical advantage in big game fishing where reel drag demands are uncompromising.

Constructed from stainless steel throughout, this bulkhead mount resists corrosion in salt air and saltwater spray, maintaining structural integrity over years of exposure. The 2.25" outside diameter accommodates standard heavy-duty rod butts, while the swivel mechanism allows natural rotation during the fight—essential mechanics for giant bluefin tuna, marlin, wahoo, and other offshore species where reel drag forces commonly exceed 50 pounds. The fixed bulkhead base provides solid deck or cabin mounting, transferring loads directly into the vessel's structure rather than relying on rail clamps or frame adapters.

This Lee's Tackle rod holder suits commercial party boats, private charter vessels, and serious offshore anglers who fish for trophy species using conventional stand-up or chair-mounted tackle. Weekend recreational anglers pursuing stripers, catfish, or pike benefit from the secure base, while tournament competitors value the reduced fatigue that the swivel action provides during extended fighting sessions. The bulkhead mount design keeps the rod holder permanently secured to the boat, eliminating the fumbling required with removable or rail-mounted alternatives when setting the hook on a strike.
