Abstract
A fishing rod belt has a waist bar, belt strap, latch, center bar, a pair of wings, and a plurality of gimbals for engaging a fishing rod. The waist bar and belt strap extend about the waist of a person and are secured with the latch. The center bar has an end attached to the waist bar and is attached to the wings. The gimbals are attached to the center bar in spaced relation and enable the securing of the fishing rod in different positions. The wings are contoured and adapted to flex to provide a comfortable barrier between the fishing rod belt and legs of the person. The center bar may define a channel with first and second edge walls with the gimbals extending between the walls in spaced-apart relation. The latch may be a seat belt type of buckle or a slot and pin mechanism.
