Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fishing rod support device. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, anglers have prepared multiple fishing rods so that they can be used for different purposes, and have used one of them while placing the other rods on the ground or leaning them against the ground nearby. Fishing rods placed in this manner are usually equipped with fishing reels and tackle so that they can be used immediately, but if an unused fishing rod is placed nearby, it can easily be knocked over or accidentally stepped on. For this reason, anglers sometimes use fishing tripods to place their fishing rods nearby.

[0003] As such a fishing rod support device, Patent Document 1 discloses a fishing rod support device characterized by comprising a base body, three legs that support the base body, and a fishing rod support part attached to the base body so as to be disposed between the legs.
