ABSTRACT:
A fishing rod holder and hook setting device embodies a fishing rod holder tube mounted for vertical swinging rotation on a support housing adapted to be ground anchored in a fixed position. A ratchet wheel mounted for rotation within the support housing is interconnected with the holder tube by clock springs which, when under tension, tend to rotate the holder tube upwardly toward a vertical position. Catch members adapted for selective engagement with the ratchet wheel are provided to selectively apply a desired tension to the springs by repeated oscillatory rotation of the holder tube. A friction latch releasably retains the holder tube in a downward, relatively horizontal position, against the action of the clock springs. When a downward tension on the holder tube occurs from a pull on the line of a retained fishing rod, the friction latch is released whereby the clock springs swing the tube and thereby the pole upwardly to exert a tug on the fishing line and set the hook in a fish taking the bait on the hook.
