Description

[0001] The invention relates to a holding device for holding a fishing rod.

[0002] Fishing rods come in a variety of designs. What they all have in common is that an elongated fishing rod extends from a handle, with a reel seat located near the handle. Several guides for the fishing line are provided along the rod, which is guided along the rod to an end farthest from the handle and then hangs loosely from the end furthest from the handle, fitted with a hook. The fishing rods themselves can be made of various materials. Fishing rods, which are often made these days from materials containing carbon, are susceptible to falls, which can damage them. The fishing rod itself, the guides for the fishing line, or even the reels can suffer scratches or even breakage, which are at least unsightly or can render the fishing rod unusable.

[0003] While there are transport devices for safely stowing fishing rods, especially in cars, the rods are set up at the fishing spot and then often leaned loosely against the vehicle. The risk of a fishing rod tipping away from the vehicle, causing damage to the rod and / or the vehicle, is relatively high, especially in windy conditions. Placing fishing rods directly on the ground is also not a good option, as uneven, rocky, or muddy ground also carries a high risk of rod damage.

[0004] There is therefore a need for a simple holding device to hold fishing rods securely to the vehicle, especially during setup of the equipment or before stowing it in the vehicle, which is simple and easy to use and reduces the risk of damage to the fishing rod and / or the vehicle.

[0005] This object is achieved by the subject matter of claim 1. Useful embodiments emerge from the subclaims.
