Abstract
There is disclosed a fishing pole holder having a tubular sleeve to receive the butt end of a fishing pole and a mounting bracket secured to the sleeve with an adjustable directional plate. The sleeve has a stud with at least one flatted surface which is received in a central, multi-flatted aperture of a mounting clamp, thereby permitting the clamp to be indexed to any of a plurality of orientations on the mounting stud. The directional block is removably secured to the mounting block which is one member of a clamp formed of two blocks. Each of the blocks of the clamp has a central V-groove and these V-grooves are opposed to define a clamp passage therebetween.

A universal directional holder comprising:
- a. a boss having a rotational position indexing means comprising at least one flat on the outer surface of said boss and an internally threaded central bore;
- b. a directional indexing block having a central through aperture with coating rotational position indexing means comprising multiple flats on the interior wall of said through aperture received over said boss with said multiple flats indexed to a preselected rotational position on said boss;
- c. first and second planar clamp brackets received over said directional indexing block and having sufficient length and breadth to extend over substantially all of said indexing block member, each of said clamp brackets having a groove in one of its flat planar faces and coextensive one dimension thereof, said first and second planar clamp brackets mounted together with their respective grooves aligned and opposed to each other, defining a clamp passage therebetween;
- d. a single through aperture centrally positioned in the first of said clamp brackets and aligned with said internally threaded bore;
- e. a threaded fastener extending through said bore and threadably received in said internally threaded bore of said boss;
