This plastic rod holder ring (also called a liner or bushing) is a small but crucial part of your boat’s fishing gear. Over time, the original liners in rod holders can wear out, crack, or get lost, leaving the metal holder exposed – which can lead to your rod getting scratched up or rattling in the holder. The solution is a simple replacement using this spare plastic insert, designed for rod holders with a 50 mm inner diameter (the standard size for many flush-mount rod holders).
Made of a tough yet slightly flexible polymer, the liner:
- Protects the Rod: The soft plastic rim prevents direct contact between your fishing rod and the hard metal of the holder. This means your rods won’t get scuffed or damaged, even in choppy seas or when the boat is vibrating.
- Reduces Noise: Without a liner, a rod can vibrate and knock against the holder, creating annoying noise. With this insert in place, any gaps are filled and vibrations are cushioned – your ride stays quieter and you won’t risk spooking fish with unnecessary clatter.
- Easy to Install/Remove: This ring is extremely easy to use – just align it with the opening of the rod holder and press it in until it snaps securely. No tools or special skills required. When cleaning or replacing, it can be pulled out just as easily.
- Marine-Resistant: The liner’s material is UV-stable and saltwater-proof; it won’t crack or become brittle from sun exposure. Even after long use, it maintains its shape and slight elasticity.
With a 50 mm diameter, this insert fits most common rod holder models (such as codes 3115 and 3117 used on many boats). It’s an indispensable spare accessory – we recommend keeping a couple on hand in case a liner gets lost or damaged. By replacing them as needed, you ensure your valuable rods stay protected and your rod holders remain in top condition, free from corrosion or damage caused by metal-to-metal contact.
