C.E. Smith 15° Stainless Flush Mount Swivel Holder

The C.E. Smith 15° Stainless Flush Mount Swivel Holder is a 15 degree, 80 Series flush mount rod holder in 316 stainless steel. Its tube is 10-1/2 inches deep with a 1-7/8 inch inside diameter. A 15 degree angle tips the rod out slightly from vertical, a good middle ground for trolling while keeping rods close to the boat. 316 stainless steel is the marine grade that resists rust and pitting in saltwater far better than 304.

The swivel bottom lets the rod rotate to follow a fish without lifting it from the holder, which is a big advantage with bent-butt tackle on tuna and other large fish. A precision-machined 1/2 inch pivot turns smoothly under load. A keyed white vinyl liner protects the rod and stays aligned in the tube. A flush mount sits low on the gunwale, so it doesn't snag lines or clothing when the holder is empty.

It mounts through the gunwale with the included hardware. Check for clearance under the gunwale before drilling. Seal the flange with a marine sealant when installing to keep water out of the gunwale. Browse more rod holders.
