ABSTRACT:
A fishing rod controlling device has four general sections: a leg pad, a curve section, a rod holder, and a belt. The fishing rod controller may be constructed by post-forming a section of plastic pipe. In the section of the controller that forms the leg pad, the pipe is split and spread apart far enough to allow the user's leg to rest within the curve. Above the leg pad and just below the curve, is a belt attachment. The controller is slit on both sides so belting material may be run through the slits. The belt is fit around the user's waist. Above the belt, the rod controller curves outward (away from the body of the user). The uppermost section of the rod controller is the rod holder. This section is a hollow cylindrical section of the pipe which is left unaltered in the basic version of the rod controller. It is within the cavity in the rod holder section that the rod is placed. A second embodiment of the rod controller has an adjustable attachment mechanism which attaches the rod holder section and the leg engagement section. The attachment also allows the user to exchange the rod holder for other types of holder sections. Alternate embodiments of the rod controller have extensions which allow the rod controller to be used for specialized rods and reels as well as being a support base for other devices such as rifles, guns, video cameras, photographic equipment, binoculars, spotting scopes, surveying equipment.
