ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for holding a fishing rod. The apparatus comprises a body member having a top surface for supporting the rod thereon, at least one shoulder member formed at one end of the body member to define a first channel, and a clasp member mountable to said body member at an opposite end to define a second channel. The first channel has an open side substantially parallel to the body member's top surface, and the second channel has an open side substantially perpendicular to the top surface. The second channel is configured to resist certain forces imposed on the rod tip. The rod is placed in the rod holder to extend between the first and second channels with the butt of the rod extending beyond the second channel. The body member may be pivotally mounted at one end thereof, with an arm mounted at this one end. Means may be connected between the arm and a point spaced from the pivotally mounted end of the body member for dampening movement of the body member. The apparatus prevents damage to the line and/or rod due to a sudden impact to the line, such as might occur when a fish strikes the lure or bait. The apparatus is also designed to facilitate removal of the rod therefrom.
