Abstract
An adjustable ground-inserted fishing rod holder for supporting a fishing rod at a desired angle. The holder includes a stake which may be inserted into a ground surface at the desired angle. A pair of supports are coupled to the stake and may be adjusted to accommodate fishing rods of various lengths. Measurement indicia is provided on a side of the stake and an alternate embodiment includes an oscillator assembly for selectively oscillating an associated fishing pole. A foot engagement element is coupled to the stake so as to aid insertion of the stake into the ground.
Claims2
An adjustable ground-inserted fishing rod holder for use with a fishing rod having a handle, said holder comprising:
- a stake having a pointed tip at an end thereof;
- an upper support coupled to an upper end of said stake;
- a lower support slidably disposed upon said stake, said lower support being operable to receive a portion of said handle of said fishing rod;
- a foot engaging means coupled to said stake for facilitating a forced insertion of said stake into a ground surface;
- and,
- measurement indicia means positioned along a longitudinal length of said stake for measuring a captured fish;
- wherein said lower support comprises a substantially hollow cylindrical member;
- an interior stop positioned upon an interior surface of said cylindrical member;
- an angled member coupled to said cylindrical member in a manner so as to define an angled aperture therethrough operable to receive said stake;
- a nut fixedly secured to said cylindrical member;
- and a securing fastener threadably engaged to said nut and operable to be selectively engaged to said stake to secure a position of said lower support along a longitudinal length of said stake;
- wherein said upper support comprises a semi-cylindrical member secured to said stake;
- wherein said stake comprises an elongated first member integrally coupled an elongated second member along longitudinal edges thereof to define an angle therebetween;
- wherein said foot engaging means comprises a first member mount joined at an edge thereof to an edge of a second member mount to form said angle therebetween;
- a first wing jointed at an edge thereof to a further edge of said first member mount;
- a second wing joined at an edge thereof to a further edge of said second member mount, wherein said first wing and said second wing lie in a plane.
