Abstract
A transportable fishing pole holder holds, transports, and stores multiple fishing poles and includes a frame having cylindrical members made of a durable, weatherproof material. A lower member includes a plurality of receiving apertures which accept the butt of a fishing pole. The upper member includes a corresponding plurality of upper apertures, with each aperture having a foam interior to retain a rod segment of the fishing pole. A user slides a fishing pole out of the upper aperture and lifts it upwardly out of the lower member for use. The frame is removably attachable to a plurality of clip mounts which are installed along a support surface of a structure. This allows the entire frame, along with the fishing rods, to be removed and transported after use.
Claims15
A transportable fishing pole holder comprising:
- an “I”-shaped frame member comprising a plurality of spaced apart upper apertures and a plurality of spaced apart receiving apertures disposed below and aligned with said upper apertures adapted for holding a plurality of fishing poles parallel to one other in a vertically side-by-side orientation;
- further comprising:
- a vertical member having an upper end and a lower end;
- a lower horizontal member affixed to said vertical member lower end;
- and,
- an upper horizontal member affixed to said vertical member upper end parallel to said lower horizontal member;
- a plurality of outwardly protruding securing pins spaced apart at intervals along a rear surface alternatingly positioned relative to said upper apertures;
- wherein said plurality of upper apertures is disposed longitudinally along a front surface of said upper horizontal member, each of said upper apertures is adapted to receive a rod segment of a fishing pole;
- and,
- wherein said plurality of receiving apertures is disposed longitudinally along a top surface of said lower horizontal member, each of said receiving apertures is adapted to receive a butt grip end of said fishing pole;
- a plurality of base clamps fastenable to a horizontal support surface for connecting to said frame member;
- a center brace fastenable to a vertical support surface for connecting to said frame member;
- and,
- a pair of securing cords, each of said cords comprises a length of cord and hook fastener at each end attachable to said upper horizontal member adapted for retaining fishing poles within said upper apertures;
- wherein said hook fasteners of each securing cord are attachable between an outside pair of securing pins and said length of cord adapted to be looped between said fishing poles and an interior plurality of securing pins.
