ABSTRACT:
A fishing rod holder for use on a dock of a type having a plurality of spaced apart planks for providing a horizontal surface for people to walk upon and dock their boat against. The fishing rod holder has a base member which is substantially wider than the distance between adjacent planks on an average dock. The bottom of the base member is substantially flat and fits on top of the planks. A tubular member is rigidly secured to the top of the base member for allowing a fishing rod handle to be inserted therein. A hole extends through the base member and has an anchor bolt extending therethrough. The anchor bolt has longitudinal axis having threads formed therearound at the top of the anchor bolt. The anchor bolt has a loop on the lower end thereof. The horizontal width of the loop is narrow enough to permit the loop to pass between a space between adjacent planks on a dock in one orientation of the anchor bolt about the longitudinal axis. The horizontal length of the anchor bolt is longer than the predetermined distance between the adjacent planks to prevent the anchor bolt from passing between the planks in a second orientation of the anchor bolt about the longitudinal axis. A wing nut, which is internally threaded, is provided for threadably engaging the threads on the upper end of the anchor bolt whereby rotation of the wing nut in one direction forces a loop toward the base member to tighten the base member against the dock and rotation of the wing nut in an opposite direction loosens the base member from the planks on the dock.
