Lee's Vinyl Rubber Insert for RH525 & RH525SS

The Lee's Vinyl Rubber Insert for RH525 & RH525SS (model RH526) is a 30-degree medium vinyl rubber replacement insert designed for rod holders and rail-mounted applications in marine environments. This precision-engineered insert provides a secure, non-slip surface that protects fishing rods from wear and damage while maintaining a stable hold in rough water conditions. Built to withstand saltwater exposure and extended sun, it's an essential maintenance component for boaters and anglers who rely on Lee's Tackle equipment for their fishing operations.

The 30-degree angle on this vinyl insert is engineered to accommodate standard rod angles used in offshore and inshore fishing applications, ensuring rods remain properly positioned and protected during storage and transit. The medium durometer rating balances grip strength with rod protection—soft enough to cushion expensive composite and fiberglass rods, yet firm enough to prevent slippage in dynamic boat conditions. Measuring 2 x 2 x 9 inches, the insert fits directly into RH525, RH525SS, and RH5325 rod holders, making it a direct replacement when original inserts show wear, cracking, or UV degradation. The compact 0.4-pound weight makes installation straightforward without additional hardware.

This replacement is ideal for weekend anglers maintaining existing Lee's rod holder systems, as well as serious offshore fishermen running multiple rods who rotate spare inserts as part of regular maintenance. Whether your boat operates in freshwater or saltwater, worn rod holder inserts leave rods vulnerable to impact damage and can allow them to shift during rough seas. Having quality replacement inserts on hand ensures your fishing setup remains tournament-ready or adventure-ready without downtime. The vinyl rubber material resists ozone cracking and UV degradation better than older rubber compounds, extending the service life of your entire rod holder assembly.
