Rod holder angle???

Post by Dug »

I need to replace the rubber sleeves in my factory installed Lee rod holders around the cockpit. I don’t know whether they are 30° or 15°. In fact I have absolutely no idea! I’m hoping somebody can shed some light on this question. Thank you in advance!

Have 7 Lee Seniors on the EarleyBird. One 15 degree swivel C/L transom. Two Lee Senior 30 degree swivel forward of the aft corners, Two Lee Senior 30 with bars not pins for Outrodders when Bass trolling. Have broken the pin rod holders before wire line trolling. Two zero degree(verticals) where our old fuel fills were for side tanks. Put them back in place after new covering boards, makes it convenient to place a rod out of the way when trolling Offshore or a gaff/Fluke net. EarleyBird 😎

I have 30's at the stern postiions and 15 degree everywhere else including my two sword positions. I have a couple of 0 degree holders in the very back mostly for a Dock Bar and Magna cutting boards.

If I remember correctly for the Lees rod holders the replacement rubber sleeves for whatever degree rod holder would be the same, it's the holder's diameter that dictates which would be needed so no need to verify what angle rod holders you have you just need to know what size the holders are!

Fake news, excuse me Dug! I see on Lee's website that their inserts are different for all 3 rod holder angles, 0o, 15o and 30o.....so that the top of the insert lies flush with the holder at its opening according to what degree the rod tube is at!
