ABSTRACT:
A hinged fishing rod holder allows the base portion to be fixed in the sand or ground, with the opposite rod holder portion being hinged or pivoted to the base portion. The two portions are formed of tubular material, and are concentric with one another when extended to position the fishing rod in a fishing position, with the hinge assembly having a stop to prevent relative motion beyond the aligned position in a forward direction. When a fish is hooked, the angler may grasp the rod and pull it rearwardly to set the hook, and also to pivot the rod holder portion rearwardly to an essentially vertical intermediate position, where a predetermined interference in the hinge holds the rod holder and rod vertically. With the rod holder and rod in this position, a fish may be reeled in and easily removed from the line, and the hook rebaited as required. The rod holder portion may then be pivoted further rearwardly with the application of some pressure to pass the hinge interference point to arrive at the rearward stop, whereupon the rod may be removed easily to cast. The present fishing rod holder is particularly convenient for the physically handicapped and/or persons confined to a wheelchair or the like.
