Description
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.
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 one for 80 series rod holders.
Each size fits all 3 models of the series. Features: Use this backing plate for all 70 series rod holders (53670A, 53670CA, 53671A, 53671CA, 53672A, and 53672CA) 316L cast stainless steel 4" x 5-1/4" 4mm thick Use your 1/4" stainless bolts and nuts (hardware not included)

Hunting & Fishing — frequently asked
- What type of rod holder should I get?
- It depends on your boat and fishing style. Flush-mount holders are clean and permanent, rail-mount and clamp-on holders are flexible and removable, and heavy-duty holders suit trolling loads. Choose based on layout, target species, and whether you troll or still-fish, and mount on solid backing.
- Do I need a downrigger?
- A downrigger is worth it if you troll for fish that hold at a specific depth — it puts baits precisely where the fish are, which dramatically improves consistency. Match the downrigger capacity and boom length to your boat and the depths you fish, and mount it securely.
- How do I keep fishing gear from corroding?
- Choose marine-grade (stainless, coated, or UV-stable) gear, and rinse rod holders, reels, downriggers, and hardware with fresh water after every saltwater outing. Salt and sun are what degrade fishing gear fastest, so a quick freshwater rinse and dry storage add years of life.
