Portable Fishing Rod Holder with Anchoring Base
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional fishing rod holders are not portable and lack the ability to securely transport or store fishing rods, as they are either permanently or temporarily fixed to a location, making them cumbersome and ineffective for both storage and transportation.
Innovation Solution
A combined portable fishing rod holder and storage stand with a base that includes anchoring apertures for securing to the ground and holder units with a screw-threaded attachment mechanism, allowing for secure storage and transportation of fishing rods through a singular platform.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional fishing rod holders are used, then fishing rods can be held during fishing, but they cannot be easily used for transporting fishing rods and lack portability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines a fishing rod holder and a storage stand into a single integrated device. The holder features a base with a recess that serves dual purposes: holding the rod during fishing and storing it during transport. The rod rest and base structure are merged to create a unified device that eliminates the need for separate holder and storage components.
Solution Approach 2:
The device is designed to perform multiple functions: it can hold fishing rods during fishing activities, store rods during transport, and provide structural support through its base. The recess in the base can accommodate the rod in various positions, making the single device universally applicable for both fishing and transportation scenarios.
2Weight of moving object
If traditional storage racks are used, then fishing rods can be stored, but they are not portable and cannot be transported
Solution Approach 1:
The storage rack and holder are merged into one portable unit. The base with its recess structure provides both storage capability and portability. The rod rest integrates with the base to create a compact, movable storage solution that can be easily transported while maintaining secure rod storage.
3Reliability
If traditional rod holders are used, then rods can be held during fishing, but they lack secure attachment mechanisms for transport
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment mechanism is integrated into the base structure itself. The recess in the base provides inherent security for the rod through its geometric configuration, eliminating the need for separate attachment devices. The rod rest works in conjunction with the base recess to secure the rod firmly during both fishing and transport without adding operational complexity.

AI summary
A combined portable fishing rod holder and storage stand includes a base and a plurality of holder units. The base includes anchoring apertures defined therein that are configured to receive anchoring mechanisms therethrough, such as stakes, pins, and other earth anchors that can secure within a ground surface. As such, the base of the combined apparatus is securable to a ground surface. In addition, the base includes a plurality of holder receipts that receive and retain the holder units. Each holder unit is designed to receive and retain an object, such as an assembled or disassembled fishing rod, therein. In addition, the holder units are designed to be secured to each other via cable ties. As such, one or more fishing rods can be secured within the combined holder and stand during storage, transportation, and use during fishing activities, without the need to use different products for each application.
