ABSTRACT:
A fishing rod holder comprising a mounting bracket for attachment to a structural member of a boat, a tubular body member having open ends for receiving a rod handle inserted through one end and having a slot longitudinally disposed in the side thereof, mounting means for mounting the tubular body member on the mounting bracket to provide limited pivotal vertical movement with respect to the mounting bracket, a lever block mounted for limited pivotal movement with respect to the tubular member and carrying therethrough a threaded rod having a handle and a camming head with the camming head and the end of the rod projecting into the body member slot, and a tongue member having a generally semicircular cross-section disposed inside the body member and meeting and fastened at one end to the interior of the body member and covering the slot. The rod drives the camming head into deflecting engagement with the free end of the tongue to deflect the tongue toward the interior of the body member and into locking engagement with a fishing rod handle when the lever block is in a locked position. When the lever block is rotated to an open position, the camming head is rotated out of engagement with the tongue member and into the slot for releasing engaging pressure on the fishing rod handle. Another embodiment of a mounting bracket used to mount the fishing rod holder on rail-like structural members is also disclosed.
