ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a fishing rod holder including a spring loaded fishing rod mount that is attached to a retractable frame by means of a rotating cross member. The release mechanism, which also serves as part of the triggering device, which shall be known hereafter as the trigger release mechanism, consists of a pivotally mounted pre-formed metallic rod that retains a fishing pole in a spring loaded horizontal position. A trigger line is attached to the bottom portion of the trigger release mechanism and to a trigger float. The trigger float is comprised of low density foam with a retaining clip and trigger line attachment point. The trigger float is slidably attached to a fishing rod line. When the trigger float is moved sufficiently downward, tension on the trigger line rotates the trigger release mechanism from the top of the fishing rod urging the fishing rod by spring-force to move in a vertical direction from a horizontal cocked position.
