ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a fishing rod holder including a spring-loaded fishing rod mount that is pivotally attached to the top of a release mechanism housing, and a ground stake that extends downwardly from the housing. The release mechanism includes a trip rod that is slidably mounted in the housing and that is urged by spring force to move longitudinally from a cocked position in which a tip of the trip rod projects through an opening in the front wall of the housing, to a retraced position in which the trip rod tip is retracted within the opening. A lever arm extends laterally from the trip rod through a slot in a side wall of the housing and can be engaged in a vertical part of the slot to hold the trip rod in its cocked position. A flexible latch member extends from the rod mount and has a slip ring on its lower end for engaging the extended tip of the trip rod to retain the fishing rod mount, against spring force, in a generally horizontal position. The fishing line is diverted from the reel around the outer tip of the lever arm and back through the fishing rod, and tension in the line generated by a striking fish will cause the lever arm to be rotated beyond the grasp of the vertical slot which releases the trip rod from its cocked position, which in turn releases the slip ring which allows the mount to be forcefully swung to a raised position.
