Backing Plate for 70 Series Rod Holders: Backing 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.

About the rod holder accessorie.

Backing Plate for 70 Series Rod Holders: Backing plates are very important to have under every rod holder used for heavy tackle fishing.

Each size fits all 3 models of the series. Features::
