ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an improved fishing pole holder for use in ice fishing. The pole holder is movably mounted in an aperture in a bucket wall so that the pole may be held in an up attitude. A fish bites on bait connected to the fishing pole pulls the fishing pole into a pole down attitude to signal that a fish is on the line. The fishing pole holder includes an elongated beam which has a pole handle receptacle on one end and a pole support on the other end. The pole handle receptacle receives a handle from a fishing pole and the pole support holds up the rod portion of the pole. An elongated shaft is fixed to the beam. The shaft is pivotally mounted in the aperture. A stop is mounted on the shaft adjacent to one side of the wall, and a second stop is mounted on the shaft adjacent to the other side of the wall. A resilient compressive member is positioned adjacent to one side of the wall between the wall and one of the stops. The resilient compressive member is placed into a selected compressed state to apply a selected amount of force against the wall to determine the force required to rotate the shaft relative to the wall and thereby determine the force required to pivot the fishing pole to a pole down attitude.
