Claims18
A long reach fishing rod device for retrieving an outwardly and upwardly angled fishing rod from an overhead holder, the rod having a reel above the holder and the device comprising:
- a frame including an elongated body to engage on the underside of the rod and having a cradle mounted on one end thereof and a fork mounted on the opposite end thereof;
- the cradle configured with at least one open loop projecting laterally in one lateral direction form the body toward the rod to engage the reel;
- the fork opening in the one lateral direction for engaging the body of the fishing rod;
- a handle device projecting downwardly and laterally from the body in the direction opposite the one lateral direction to be grasped by a user to reach upwardly to the rod, engaging the loop under the reel and the fork over the body of the rod for lifting upwardly to raise the rod upwardly to disengage from the holder.
A long reach rod retrieval device for retrieving an upwardly and outwardly angled fishing rod from an overhead holder, the rod having a reel above the holder and the device comprising:
- a frame including a pair of juxtaposed rods projecting longitudinally upwardly and formed at the lower extremity to angle outwardly away from one another and turn rearwardly to form a pair of laterally spaced apart loops defining a cradle for hooking over the reel;
- the rods further formed at their upper extremity to angle outwardly away from one another to form a pair of tines defining a fork, the respective tines being turned downwardly and inwardly toward one another at the free extremity of the times to define respective fingers;
- and a tube mounted to the bottom side of the rods and formed with a downwardly and rearwardly angled coupling for receipt of a pole handle.
A long reach fishing rod device for retrieving an upwardly and outwardly angled fishing rod from an overhead holder, the rod having a reel disposed above the holder and the device comprising:
- an elongated frame projecting upwardly along the rod and configured at its rear extremity with a pair of spaced apart loops defining a cradle for receiving the reel;
- the device further formed at the upper extremity with a pair of tines angling upwardly and outwardly away from one another and then turn downwardly to form respective fingers for retaining the rod in the fork;
- and
- a handle device mounted to the underside of the frame.
A long reach fishing rod device for retrieving an outwardly and upwardly angled fishing rod from an overhead holder, the rod having a reel above the holder and the device comprising:
- a frame including an elongated body to engage on the underside of the rod and having a cradle mounted on one end thereof and a fork mounted on the opposite end thereof;
- the cradle configured with at least one open loop formed to define a half circle and projecting laterally in one lateral direction form the body toward the rod to engage the reel;
- the fork opening in the one lateral direction for engaging the body of the fishing rod;
- a handle device projecting downwardly and laterally from the body in the direction opposite the one lateral direction to be grasped by a user to reach upwardly to the rod, engaging the loop under the reel and the fork over the body of the rod for lifting upwardly to raise the rod upwardly to disengage from the holder.
