Lee’s Tackle Clamp-On Rod Holder – Vertical Mount – White Aluminum – Fits 1.050" O.D. Pipe (RA5001WH)

The Lee’s Tackle Clamp-On Rod Holder (RA5001WH) is a premium, no-drill solution for adding clean and secure rod storage to your boat. Designed for vertical mounting, this holder keeps rods upright and organized on T-tops, towers, and rails, helping maximize space while protecting your gear.

Constructed from high-quality anodized aluminum with a durable white finish, this rod holder provides excellent resistance to corrosion, UV exposure, and harsh marine conditions. The clamp-on design allows for quick installation and easy repositioning without drilling, preserving your boat’s structure and finish.

Engineered to fit 1.050" outer diameter pipe, this model is ideal for smaller tubing applications, ensuring a snug and secure fit. The vertical orientation is perfect for rod storage and light-duty fishing, keeping rods accessible and ready when needed.

Lee’s Tackle is known for producing professional-grade fishing accessories, making this rod holder a reliable choice for both recreational and serious anglers.

Technical Specifications

• Model: RA5001WH

• Mounting Type: Vertical (90° to the rail)

• Pipe Size Compatibility: Fits 1.050" Outside Diameter (O.D.).

  • Note: This is the exact dimension of 3/4" IPS (Schedule 40) pipe.

• Construction: Heavy-wall cold-drawn 6061-T6 aluminum.

• Coating: UV-stabilized high-gloss white powder coat.

• Tube Dimensions: 10" length with a $15/8"$ ($41\text{ mm}$) internal diameter.

• Fasteners: Includes 316-grade stainless steel hex-head bolts.

Performance & Design Features

• Seamless Integration: The powder-coated finish is specifically designed to match the "Aurelion White" or "Matterhorn White" common in high-end marine towers (e.g., Yellowfin, Contender, SeaVee).

• Internal Protection: Each unit features a heavy-duty, UV-resistant black vinyl liner. This prevents the rod handle from making contact with the aluminum tube, eliminating vibrations and "chatter" while running in heavy seas.

• Butt Locking System: A heavy-duty cross-pin (gimbal pin) is press-fitted at the base. This locks into the gimbal of your fishing rod to ensure the reel remains facing the desired direction and cannot spin.

• Precision Machining: The two-piece clamp is CNC-machined for a "crush-fit" that prevents the holder from sliding down the pipe even when loaded with a heavy 50W or 80W offshore trolling combo.

Installation Best Practices

• Verification: Before mounting, verify your pipe diameter. If your pipe is $1.315"$ ($33\text{ mm}$), this clamp will not close.

• Hardware Prep: Apply a small amount of Tef-Gel or marine anti-seize to the stainless steel bolt threads. This prevents "galling" and ensures you can remove or adjust the holder years later without the bolts seizing in the aluminum.

• Torque: Tighten the four bolts in a "cross pattern" (like lug nuts on a car) to ensure even pressure across the clamp face.
