Rupp Large SS Bolt-less Swivel Rod Holder, 15-Degree

The Rupp Large Stainless Steel Bolt-less Swivel Rod Holder at 15 degrees won the 2020 IBEX Innovation Award. It combines the easy installation of a standard rod holder with the clean look of a bolt-less one. No special tools or fasteners are required. Rupp has a long history building outriggers and rod holders for sportfishing boats.

It's investment cast stainless steel with a removable, replaceable top flange, so a scratched or damaged flange can be swapped without replacing the whole holder. The closed end has a threaded drain hole. A swivel base lets the rod rotate to follow a fish. The polished finish holds up to salt spray and matches other high-end deck hardware. This is the 15 Degree version, and that mounting angle directly affects rod position after the holder is installed. This version uses the 15-degree holder angle, which is the key installation difference from Rupp's otherwise similar straight model.

Rupp's exclusive forged end cap gives unbreakable rod support with a mirror finish. Use it with Rupp's Large Stainless Steel Backing Plates, 10-1476-40. Pair it with matching Rupp holders for a uniform look across the gunwale. The 15-Degree angle is the defining difference on this version and changes how the rod sits after installation.
