Benefits of technology

[0010] The fishing pole holder of the present invention overcomes shortcomings in prior art designs such as those shown in the previously discussed prior art patents. It simplifies trolling operation or stationary off-shore fishing from a boat using two fishing poles from one location. It makes provision for positioning each pole, one with respect to the other, with the fishing poles within arm reach so that the fisherman can achieve tangle-free operation of both poles simultaneously.
[0011] The fishing pole holder of the invention includes supporting structure that permits t

Problems solved by technology

Such known fishing pole holders, however, are heavy and are of complex construction.
Furthermore, they are not adaptable for easy storage when not in use.
A fishing pole holder of this type is not adaptable for trolling or other off-shore fishing.
Unlike the previously mentioned prior art designs,

Example

[0019] The dual fishing pole holder of the invention comprises a C-clamp 10 with clamping arms 12 and 14 arranged in spaced parallel relationship, and a threaded adjusting shaft 16 is threadably received in a threaded opening in one end of the arm 12. A manual adjusting lever 18 at the outboard end of the threaded shaft 16 permits the fisherman to rotate the threaded shaft 16 so that it advances toward or retracts from a flexible compliant abutment 20, which is engageable with the outboard side of a generally vertical transom, or side wall, or gunwale of a fishing boat. The abutment 20 is secured to the base plate 22 by bolts 26 or other suitable fastening means. A transom or gunwale is illustrated schematically at 24 in FIG. 6.

[0020] A vertical right angle bracket 28 is secured to the outboard surface of a base plate 22 by fastening devices 30, or by welding, or by other suitable fastening techniques. The arm 14 of the C-clamp 10 is secured to one face of the angle bracket 28 by s...

Abstract

A fishing pole holder for supporting multiple fishing poles on a fishing boat wall. The holder includes clamping structure for securing the holder to a boat wall and accommodating ready attachment to the boat wall and removal for storage without a need for special tools. Holder elements are adjustable to provide desired pole separation and desired elevation angle during trolling events.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The invention relates to sport fishing and, in particular, to a fishing pole holder that is adaptable for mounting on a gunwale or transom of a fishing boat. [0003] 2. Background Art [0004] The sport of recreational fishing includes fly fishing or surf fishing, conducted along a shoreline, and off-shore fishing including trolling or stationary fishing using a fishing boat depending upon the preferences of the fisherman. It would be desirable if equipment used for recreational fishing would be sufficiently versatile to permit use of the equipment for both types of sport fishing. Improved portability and reduced storage space for the equipment are additional desirable features. [0005] Known designs in the prior art relating to sport fishing include fishing pole holders that can be mounted on a stationary structure, such as the transom or gunwale of a fishing boat. These fishing pole holders are capable of holding a fi...
