Abstract: An apparatus for coupling a fishing rod to a rod holder comprises a rod butt holder attached to a fishing rod and selectively and releasably attached to rod holder support arm. The rod holder support arm includes a retaining portion configured to be selectively and releasably attached to the rod butt holder. A latch assembly is coupled to the rod butt holder to releasably secure the rod butt holder to the rod holder support arm.

Abstract: An apparatus for coupling a fishing rod to a reel comprises a rod mount for attachment to a reel seat of a fishing pole and a first body defining a first attachment portion. A reel mount includes a rod seat for attachment to a fishing reel and a second body having a second attachment portion configured to be selectively and releasably attached to the first attachment portion of the first body. A support arm includes a retaining portion configured to be selectively and releasably attached to the reel mount. A latch is coupled to the reel mount to secure the reel mount to the rod mount and is configured for being movable from a first position where the rod mount is secured to the reel mount to a second position where the rod mount can be separated from the reel mount.

Abstract: Overcurrent protection is obtained in a push-pull network by circuitry repeatedly comparing signals indicative of the instantaneous current flow through the push-pull switching elements with a synchronized reference signal whose value is preferably made to decline during the ON periods of the current switches. Thus, the reference signal may initially be set relatively high to accommodate a moderately high in-rush transient and then to decline to lower levels over the remainder of the time the switching elements are on. At any time that the current signals exceed the compared to reference value, the corresponding current switch is deactivated as a protective measure.
