  • Floating, transparent protective covering for a fishing rod
    Patent number: 5957284
    Abstract: A protective cover (7) that functions as a carrying case and a protective sheath. The cover (7) comprises an enclosure (13) for covering a portion of a rod (10). The enclosure (13) defines a space around the rod (10) and provides protection for the tip of the rod (10). A spacer insert (16) that opens in a hinged fashion surrounds a portion of the rod (10) and occupies the space between the portion of the rod (10) and the inside of the enclosure (13). The spacer insert (16) fits snugly inside the cover (7) to prevent excess motion of the rod (10) inside the enclosure (13) and to prevent the cover (7) from separating from the end of the rod (10).
