Description
- Material: Made of 304 Stainless Steel, #16 gauge.
- Prevents Friction: The swivel action ensures that the rod tip follows the fish’s path, allowing the line to pass freely over the roller and preventing unnecessary friction.
- Reduces Rod Break-Offs: Reduces side loads on the rod tip guide, preventing chaffing-induced break-offs.
- Swivel Mechanism: Reliably swivels under pressure, yet remains steadfast when not engaged. bottom part contains a gimbal pin for optimal performance
- Dimensions: Ø1-1/2" in diameter and a height of 2-5/16". Fits most stainless steel rod holder with rod holder insert sleeves
Our swivel adapter quickly transforms non-swiveling rod holders into swiveling ones, enhancing control and performance during fishing. It consists of two parts: the upper section, which swivels under pressure, includes a gimbal pin to ensure stability unless a fish applies pressure. This allows the rod tip to follow the fish’s movement, reducing friction and preventing line wear or fraying.
The adapter fits rod holder butts with an outside diameter of up to 1-9/16 inches and works with both 30-degree and 90-degree rod holders. When inserted, it raises the rod holder pin depth by 1-1/2 inches, making it ideal for use with bent butt chair rods, especially in game fishing.
Made of heavy-duty #16 gauge 304 stainless steel. The adapter’s swivel friction is adjustable using a stainless nylock nut, allowing you to fine-tune the tension for various fishing conditions. Additionally, the top section has drain holes to prevent water accumulation, ensuring long-lasting, reliable use.
This retrofit accessory is perfect for serious anglers, offering improved rod control and reducing side loads on the rod tip guide, preventing break-offs during heavy tackle scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions
A drop-in swivel rod holder insert is an accessory that converts a standard rod holder into a swivel rod holder. This allows the rod to rotate freely, providing better control when trolling or fighting a fish.
The primary benefits include enhanced control and maneuverability of the fishing rod, reduced line tangling, and minimized stress on the rod and reel. This is particularly useful for trolling and when dealing with large, powerful fish.
Installation is straightforward. The insert is simply dropped into the existing rod holder. Some models may require additional securing mechanisms, such as a locking pin or screws, to ensure it stays in place during use.
While many swivel inserts are designed to fit standard rod holders, checking the dimensions and specifications to ensure compatibility with your specific rod holder is important.
