  • Patent number: 12364256
    Abstract: A fishing rod holder includes a bottom plate, a plurality of blocking plates, and a plurality of clamping components. The plurality of blocking plates and the plurality of clamping components are all arranged on an identical surface of the bottom plate. One clamping component is provided corresponding to one blocking plate. One end of the clamping component is close to the corresponding blocking plate and is movable away from the corresponding blocking plate under an external force. When the end of the clamping component is driven away from the corresponding blocking plate by the external force, the clamping component has a restoration force, so that when the clamping component is driven away from the corresponding blocking plate by the external force, the clamping component approaches the corresponding blocking plate, and a clamping space is formed between the clamping component and the blocking plate.
