Fishook and line holder, fishing pole with holder, kit and method

A fishhook and line holder comprising

• a body member including a platform end and an elevated arm end, said body being a rigid, solid, unitary component,
• said platform end and said elevated arm end joining at a junction, merging, and being integral with each other,
• said platform end configured to retain a strap member that can be wrapped around a portion of a fishing pole to which the holder is to be attached nearby a reel on the pole, to thereby detachably mount the holder to the pole,
• said elevated arm end having a pair of opposed, spaced apart arms, each arm having a terminal end and a connection end, said connection ends merging and being integral with said platform end at said junction, said terminal ends being remote from said junction,
• said arms being parallel and generally of the same length and forming an acute angle at the junction between the pole and the arms that is from 3 to 50 degrees,
• a hook keeper element extending between said terminal ends and having opposed ends merging, and being integral with, the opposed arms, said hook keeper element and terminal ends configured to form a space that receives a portion of a fishhook gripping the hook keeper element,
• a line keeper element extending outward from one to the arms and including an annular groove configured to retain an free end portion of a fishing line extending from the reel, and
• an “O” ring seated in the groove.

A fishing pole comprising

• a plurality of components configured to be assembled into an elongated rod member, one of said components including
• a pair opposed arms, each arm having a connection end integral with said one component and a terminal end remote from said connection end,
• a hook keeper element extending between said terminal ends and having opposed ends merging, and being integral with, the opposed arms, said hook keeper element and ends configured to form a space that receives a portion of a fishhook gripping the hook keeper element,
• a line keeper element extending outward from one to the arms and including a groove configured to retain a free end portion of a fishing line extending from the reel, and
• an elastic retention member is seated in the groove.

A fishing pole component including

• a tubular member having opposed ends, and near each end is a retainer member configured to engage a reel to be mounted to said tubular, one of said retainer members being manually moveable lengthwise to adjust for different sized reels,
• a pair of parallel, opposed, spaced apart arms, each arm having a connection end integral with an exterior surface of the tubular member and a terminal end remote from said connection end,
• a hook keeper element extending between said terminal ends and having opposed ends merging, and being integral with, the opposed arms, said hook keeper element and ends configured to form a space that receives a portion of a fishhook gripping the hook keeper element,
• a line keeper element extending outward from one to the arms and including a groove configured to retain a free end portion of a fishing line extending from the reel, and
• an elastic retention member is seated in the groove.
