C.E. Smith Backing Plate f/70 Series Rod Holders rh [53673]

From Lotz Outdoors

Backing Plate for 70 Series Rod HoldersBacking plates are very important to have under every rod holder used for heavy tackle fishing. When the rod holder is under extreme load regular nuts and washers can concentrate stress and cause spider cracking around your rod holders or perhaps even tear through causing severe gunnel damage. Smith backing plates distribute mounting bolt pressure evenly over 30 times more surface area than with standard washers alone. 2 sizes one for 70 series and 80 series rod holders.
