swivel rod holders

You need to use bent butts for the swivels to work properly.

We run 4 lee's, and 1 CJ - the CJ is a little longer than the Lee's.
If you have a standard 0 degree holder and want to convert it to a swivel, there are a few companies that sell a swivel insert that you can drop down.

Fishermans outfitter and CMS both sell them, and I'm sure most over other offshore shop does as well.

Ditto - what Keeperreaper said about backing plates. Breaking loose a plate on a fish sucks.

Hey Jay, Ever try the golfball trick? How well does it work in pinch?

I'd like to add some swivels but my gunnels are closed. I'd have to cut a hole, then patch it, doubt it would still match my speckled gunnel
