ABSTRACT:
A compact foldable fishing rod support includes three rods of substantially equal length and pivoting arrangements for holding said three rods together end to end, but permitting them to be folded side by side. At each junction, a slip sleeve is mounted to slide down over the junction between adjacent rods to hold the rods vertically aligned. One end of the entire assembly of rods is pointed to be driven into the ground, and the other end of the assembly is drilled out to provide a recess into which a V-shaped spring fits. A pin extends across the recess at the upper end of the assembly so that the V-shaped spring may be extended outwardly and held in position by the transverse pin to provide a V-shaped rest for the fishing pole. The rod sections are coupled together by links providing a certain amount of lost motion so that, when the slip sleeves are in place, the ends of the rods may abut. In addition, the V-shaped spring may slide all the way into the upper end of the top of the assembly and it has sharply outturned ends which fit into relieved areas on the upper surface of the assembly so that the assembly of several rods may be driven into the ground using a rock or the like, without damaging the pivot links or the V-shaped spring. After the unit is set in place, the V-shaped spring may be pulled out from its enclosing recess whereby it will open out to form the V-shaped rest for the fishing pole. A flat base or a tripod which mounts the lower end of the assembly may be employed when it is to be set up on a hard surface or one where it is not desirable to pound the assembly into the underlying ground or surface.
