  • Tip-down fishing rod holder
    Patent number: 11344017
    Abstract: A tip-down fishing rod holder comprising three legs, two plates, two arms, and a rod holder strap with a pivot pin. The various components of the fishing rod holder are held together by fasteners, some of which are pivots that allow the three legs to rotate relative to the two arms. Thus, the rod holder is configured to shift between a roughly tri-pod configuration to securely hold a fishing rod while fishing and a folded configuration in which the holder has a substantially flat configuration to provide easy transport and storage.
