Abstract: An apparatus wearable on a torso of a user to support a fishing rod has a primary panel defining an upper partially spherical socket and a lower partially spherical socket receptive to a partially spherical joint member coupled to a fishing rod in a rotating engagement. A partially spherical joint member slides in a partially cylindrical groove extending from the upper partially spherical socket to the lower partially spherical socket partially spherical joint member. A harness member secures the primary panel to the torso and redirects horizontal forces against the primary panel to a vertical direction. With a butt seat attached to the primary panel, user gains leverage during rail fishing by applying a pulling weight force on the primary panel and the rod while seated thereon.

Abstract: An apparatus wearable on a torso of a user to support a fishing rod is disclosed. A primary panel is defined by an external side, an internal side, and a central section. The internal side has a contour substantially conforming to an abdominal side of the torso, while the central section is interposed between a left peripheral section and a right peripheral section, and further defined by a tapered top end apex, through which a center axis spanning a length of the central section extends. Partial spherical sockets are in a spaced relationship aligned in a single column along the center axis. The socket is receptive to a corresponding partial spherical joint member in a rotating engagement, and the joint member is coupled to the article. A harness member secures the primary panel to the torso and redirect horizontal forces against the primary panel to a vertical direction.

Abstract: An apparatus wearable on a torso of a user to support and article such as a fishing rod is disclosed. The apparatus includes a primary panel defined by an external side and an internal side that has a contour substantially conforming to the torso. The primary panel is also defined by a central section interposed between a left peripheral section and a right peripheral section, with the central section including at least one open recess that is receptive to the article. The recess is defined by an outline on the primary panel and a depth that extends into the primary panel. The apparatus also includes at least one harness member that cooperates with the primary panel to secure the same to the torso and redirect horizontal forces against the primary panel to a vertical direction. The harness member is engageable to the shoulders of the user.
