Abstract
A tubular fishing rod holder capable of being used from a portable ice fishing shelter, a bucket, a boat, or a lawn chair. The fishing rod holder having a rearward mounting end, and a forward holding end, wherein the holding end is of sufficient length and diameter to accommodate the handle portion of, for example, ice fishing, spinning, and jigging rods. The rearward mounting end comprises upper and lower mounting slots, communicating the rearward end with upper and lower apertures, which a portion of the upper and lower apertures are shaped to form upper and lower locking grooves, allowing the fishing rod holder to be removably mounted to bucket, and vertical or angled support in a cantilevered arrangement, positioning a fishing rod within easy reach of a fisherman.
Claims7
A tubular fishing rod holder formed from a single cylindrical tube comprising:
- a forward holding end for receiving and holding a handle portion of a fishing rod;
- and
- a rearward mounting end, for removably mounting said fishing rod holder to a support, said rearward mounting end comprising:
- an upper mounting slot formed along the longitudinal axis in a top portion of said cylindrical tube communicating said rearward mounting end with an upper aperture formed at a predetermined distance from said rearward mounting end, wherein a portion of said upper aperture is shaped to fit a support;
- and said shaped portion of said upper aperture forms an upper locking groove;
- a lower mounting slot formed along the longitudinal axis in a bottom portion of said cylindrical tube communicating said rearward mounting end with a lower aperture formed at a predetermined distance from said rearward mounting end, wherein said lower aperture is shaped to form a stopping point and create a locking action to said support.
A fishing rod holder formed from a tube of predetermined length and predetermined diameter, wherein said tube has a forward holding end for accommodating a handle of a fishing rod, and a rearward mounting end for removably mounting said fishing rod holder to a bucket and a support of any angle, said rearward mounting end comprising:
- a first upper mounting slot formed along the longitudinal axis in a top portion of said tube communicating said rearward mounting end with one or more first upper apertures formed at predetermined distances from said rearward mounting end, wherein a portion of said first upper apertures are shaped to fit a support and form upper locking grooves;
- a first lower mounting slot formed along the longitudinal axis in a bottom portion of said tube communicating said rearward mounting end with one or more first lower apertures formed at predetermined distances from said rearward mounting end, wherein a portion of said first lower apertures are shaped to fit a support and form lower locking grooves;
- a second upper mounting slot formed at a predetermined length and a predetermined angle in a top portion of said tube communicating said first upper mounting slot and said rearward mounting end with a second upper aperture, wherein a portion of said second aperture is shaped to form a locking groove;
- a second lower mounting slot formed at a predetermined length and a predetermined angle in a bottom portion of said tube communicating said first lower aperture and said rearward mounting end with a second lower aperture, wherein a portion of said second lower aperture is shaped to form a locking groove;
- said second upper mounting slot communicated with said second upper aperture, and said second lower mounting slot communicated with said second lower aperture are parallel and equal in distance from said rearward mounting end.
