Abstract
A fishing rod support includes a tubular rod receiver configured to receive and retain the elongated butt-end of a single fishing rod, and a bracket element including two portions with different angular orientations with respect to the tubular receiver. Each of the bracket portions is configured to engage, in like manner, a rigid mount. The mount is configured to be secured to a stable working surface, as a supporting base, such as the rigid structure of a fishing boat. In use, the alternative engaging of the bracket portions with the mount enables two different supported angular orientations of the tubular receiver, and hence of the fishing rod.
Claims4
A fishing rod support comprising:
- a tubular receiver having an long axis configured to receive an elongated butt portion of a fishing rod;
- a rigid bracket integrally secured to the receiver and having a first and second portion;
- the first portion parallel to the receiver long axis and the second portion having an included angle from the long axis;
- a mount configured to be secured to a rigid structure and configured to receive and retain, alternatively, the first portion or second portion;
- whereby the receiver may be retained on the mount with the long axis, alternatively, in one of two different angular orientations.
A fishing rod support comprising:
- a fishing rod receiver configured to receive a fishing rod;
- a mount configured to be secured to a working surface;
- the fishing rod receiver configured to engage the mount alternatively in one of two relative angular orientations solely through the actions of:
- separating the receiver from the mount;
- rigidly rotating the receiver relative to the mount to define a new condition of use;
- and
- engaging the receiver with the mount.
A fishing rod support comprising:
- a fishing rod receiver configured to receive a fishing rod;
- a mount configured to be secured to a working surface;
- the fishing rod including a securing means for securing the receiver to the mount, alternatively, in two different angular orientations, and the receiver entirely rigid without intermoving elements.
