Abstract
A fishing rod holder includes a tubular member capable of removably holding a fishing rod thereon. The tubular member includes a first annular wall enclosing a longitudinally extending first cavity portion and a second annular wall enclosing a longitudinally extending second cavity portion. The second annular wall includes an internally-threaded end portion at one end. The fishing rod holder also includes a spike detachably affixable to the tubular member. The spike has a stored configuration and a deployed configuration. At least a portion of the spike is disposed in the second cavity portion when in the stored configuration.
Claims15
A fishing rod comprising:
- a rod blank, wherein the rod blank includes an exposed proximal end portion;
- a handle section associated with the rod blank;
- a fishing rod holder removably attachable to a proximal portion of the handle section, the fishing rod holder including:
- a tubular member including a first annular wall enclosing a longitudinally extending first cavity portion and a second annular wall enclosing a longitudinally extending second cavity portion;
- and
- a spike detachably affixable to the tubular member;
- and
- a connection mechanism configured to detachably affix the fishing rod holder to the proximal portion of the handle section, wherein the exposed proximal end portion of the rod blank extends proximally outward of the connection mechanism, wherein the connection mechanism includes a threaded tubular connector, and wherein the second annular wall includes a threaded portion configured to mate with the threaded tubular connector.

A fishing rod comprising:
- a rod blank;
- a handle section associated with the rod blank;
- a fishing rod holder removably attachable to a proximal portion of the handle section, the fishing rod holder including:
- a first annular wall enclosing a longitudinally extending first cavity portion;
- a second annular wall enclosing a longitudinally extending second cavity portion, wherein the second cavity portion is sized and configured to receive a proximal end portion of the rod blank therein;
- and
- a spike including a threaded portion, the spike having a stored configuration and a deployed configuration;
- and
- a connection mechanism configured to detachably affix the fishing rod holder to the proximal portion of the handle section, wherein the connection mechanism includes a threaded tubular connector enclosing a portion of the rod blank, and wherein when the spike is in the deployed configuration and the proximal end portion of the rod blank is disposed in the second cavity portion, the connection mechanism is in a disengaged configuration to freely permit removal of the fishing rod from the fishing rod holder.
6 more elements
A fishing rod comprising:
- a rod blank;
- a handle section associated with the rod blank;
- a fishing rod holder removably attachable to a proximal portion of the handle section, the fishing rod holder including:
- a tubular member adapted to allow insertion and removal of a proximal end portion of the rod blank therein and therefrom, wherein the tubular member includes:
- a first threaded end portion, the first threaded end portion including a first open end and a second open end opposite the first open end;
- and
- a second threaded end portion;
- and
- a spike having a threaded portion, the spike having a stored configuration and a deployed configuration, wherein the threaded portion of the spike is engaged with the first open end of the first threaded end portion when in the stored configuration, and wherein the threaded portion of the spike is engaged with the second open end of the first threaded end portion when in the deployed configuration;
- and
- a connection mechanism configured to detachably affix the fishing rod holder to the proximal portion of the handle section, wherein when the fishing rod holder is detachably affixed to the proximal portion of the handle section by the connection mechanism, at least a portion of the spike is disposed in the proximal end portion of the rod blank when the spike is in the stored configuration.
