ABSTRACT:
A pivotally supported, resiliently biased fishing rod holder with a hook setting mechanism automatically actuated when a fish exerts tension an a fishing line when taking the bait on the fish hook. The fishing rod holder includes a tube receiving the handle end of a fishing rod in an open end thereof. The tube is biased about a pivot axis by a plurality of resilient cords extending between an opposite end of the pivotal tube and a support stand. The support stand and pivotal tube include a triggering mechanism including a trip roller and trip bar mounted on the pivotal tube and a holding bar mounted on the support stand with the trip bar engaged by the fishing line at adjustable points along the length of the trip bar to vary the sensitivity of the trigger mechanism. A lock bolt is inserted under an end portion of the pivotal rod holding tube to secure it against pivotal movement in a hook setting direction when setting up the fishing rod holder at a fishing site. A carrying handle is provided on the support stand to enable transport and the support stand includes a base structure that can be stared alongside a vertical stand to enable storage of the device in a more compact condition.
