A precision machined cast stainless gimbal cup is controlled by a smooth acting clutch, letting the rod holder swivel so the rod tip can follow the line as it trails behind the boat. This keeps the line centered on the roller tip during high speed trolling, reducing line wear, lost fish, and lost tackle, and lets an angler follow a big fish while the holder absorbs most of the fighting pressure. Because the clutch may need occasional adjustment, this rod holder should be installed where there is working access to the adjustment nut on the bottom of the unit. A white vinyl liner protects the rod finish and is keyed to the rod holder tube so the liner will not twist during use. The 53681SA shares its heavy duty construction and dimensions with CE Smith's drain bottom 80 series holders, with the added swivel gimbal mechanism. It flush mounts into the boat deck or gunnel for a clean, low profile installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e CE Smith\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 53681SA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flush Mount Rod Holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAngle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 316L Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLiner:\u003c\/strong\u003e White vinyl, keyed to prevent twist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flush mount, swivel gimbal with adjustable clutch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 inches D x 5 inches W x 5 inches H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.01875 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 768296006037\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat angle is the CE Smith 53681SA rod holder set at?\u003c\/strong\u003e The CE Smith 53681SA is a swivel flush mount rod holder set at a 15 degree angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy would I choose a swivel rod holder over a fixed one?\u003c\/strong\u003e A swivel design lets the rod tip follow the fishing line as it trails behind the boat during high speed trolling, which keeps the line centered on the roller tip and reduces line wear, lost fish, and lost tackle.
