Abstract
A fishing rod holder is described. The fishing rod holder may be used in a variety of manners, including on land and at sea (on a boat). The fishing rod holder may be used in a recess or a sleeve built into the boat, used in a fighting chair, or even held by the fisherman as needed. The rod holder may further allow the fishing rod to rotate during, for example, trolling or other types of fishing. The fishing rod holder also includes a structure that supports the fishing rod when the fishing rod begins to bend or flex under the weight of a fish.

A rod holder comprising:
- a positioning member;
- a first support member and a second support member extending from the positioning member,
- wherein a support is disposed on a first end of the first support member,
- wherein the support comprises a first flange and a second flange such that a trough is formed between the first flange and the second flange, and
- wherein the first support member comprises a first bend and a second bend along a length of the first support member;
- a tubular member having a first opening at a first end and a second opening at a second end, wherein a blocking member traverses and selectively blocks the second opening of the tubular member,
- wherein the tubular member is rotatably coupled to the second support member and configured to be rotatable between a first position and a second position,
- wherein the tubular member is flared outwards at a first opening of the tubular member, and
- wherein a spring biases the tubular member to reside in the first position;
- and
- a concave rest configured to support an underside of the tubular member when the tubular member is in the first position;
- and
- an eyelet coupled to the first support member, the eyelet configured to secure a safety mechanism from the eyelet to a secondary location to secure a location of the fishing rod holder.
