  • Patent number: 6213441
    Abstract: This invention is a fishing rod holder mount comprising a base unit which can be secured or affixed to a supporting surface such as the upper rail or gunwale of a boat; a shaft which is received by the base unit and therefore secured to the supporting surface; and an interlocking mechanism between the base and shaft which prevents the shaft and therefore the fishing rod holder from rotating about the shaft axis. The fishing rods held by the fishing rod holder are prevented from rotating across the boat or supporting surface. Therefore, the fishing rod is prevented from striking a boat occupant, tangling with other rods or objects, and prevented from complicating reeling in of a fish.

  • Patent number: 6007042
    Abstract: A fishing rod holder for holding a fly rod and reel is disclosed, the rod having a reel seat to which the reel is attached, the reel having a reel bracket for attachment to the reel seat. A first width is defined between spaced points of attachment of the bracket to the reel seat, and a second width is defined generally between spaced intersection points where the bracket and a circumference of the reel intersect to define a crevice. The holder comprises a standard for attachment to an associated structure; and a rod and reel support cradle carried by the standard having a pair of spaced cradle arms; the cradle including an open cradle top, and an open cradle side providing a space for receiving the reel. A cradle bottom receives the rod and reel in a holding position wherein a first distance between the cradle arms near the cradle bottom is less than the reel diameter and generally greater than the second width of the bracket to fit within the crevice.

  • Patent number: 5996958
    Abstract: A combination fishing rod holder is disclosed which includes a first rod holder in the form of a support cradle for supporting a fishing rod in a generally cantilevered fishing position. The first rod holder is affixed to a standard mounted to an associated structure such as the gunwale of a boat. A second rod holder is also carried by the standard which includes an upright holder for holding the fishing rod in a generally upright, travel position when the boat is moving over the water. Preferably the upright holder comprises a plurality of vertical, spaced holder rings which receive the butt of a fishing rod. The rings are affixed to a post secured in the clamp of an adjustable mount assembly which secures the second rod holder to the standard and/or first rod holder. The post may be moved in and out of the clamp radially with respect to the fishing rod butt so that free ends of the clamping jaws penetrate the rod holder rings and engage the butt to hold it securely in place during travel.
