Multi-Rod Holder Structure With Adjustable Ground-Stable Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Anglers face challenges in managing multiple fishing rods securely and efficiently, especially during high-action moments, and lack convenient storage solutions for rods, bait, and drinks, leading to lost catches, tangles, and environmental disruption.
Innovation Solution
A durable, UV-resistant frame with telescopic legs and adjustable pivot points for multiple rod holders, along with cup and bait areas, secured by fasteners, providing a stable, hands-free setup for rods and accessories.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If an angler holds multiple fishing rods simultaneously, then fishing productivity increases, but control and stability of the rods deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The device divides the holding function into multiple independent compartments, each dedicated to a specific fishing rod. This segmentation allows each rod to be held securely in its own space while maintaining overall system stability, resolving the contradiction between holding multiple rods and maintaining control over each one.
Solution Approach 2:
The device introduces an intermediary structure (the multi-compartment holder) between the angler and the multiple fishing rods. This intermediary provides stable support for each rod, eliminating the need for the angler to physically hold multiple rods simultaneously, thus maintaining both productivity and control.
2Ease of operation
If an angler constantly moves between rods and tackle boxes, then accessibility to supplies improves, but time loss and fatigue increase
Solution Approach 1:
The device merges the rod holding function with the supply storage function into a single integrated unit. By combining both functions in one location, the angler no longer needs to move between separate rod holders and tackle boxes, eliminating the time loss and fatigue associated with constant movement while maintaining full accessibility to both rods and supplies.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple fishing rods are transported without organized carrying solution, then transportation flexibility improves, but device complexity and risk of damage increase
Solution Approach 1:
The device serves multiple functions: it acts as a rod holder during fishing, a storage unit for supplies, and a structured carrying system during transportation. This multi-functionality provides organized carrying solution that reduces the complexity of transporting multiple rods while maintaining transportation flexibility, as the same structure serves all purposes.

AI summary
A fishing rod-holding device is provided comprised of a free-standing fishing rod holder device comprising a frame structure with at least one leg and multiple utility areas for fishing accessories. The frame, made from durable materials such as wood, metal, or UV-resistant PVC, incorporates a pointed-leg design for secure ground insertion, enhancing its stability. The leg can either be fixed or telescopic with locking mechanisms, allowing adjustable height configurations. Attached to the frame is a rod receiving area, typically a tubular structure, which holds the fishing rod handle, enabling hands-free fishing. This rod receiving area includes a pivot point allowing multi-directional angle adjustments using mechanisms like ball-and-socket or ratcheting joints for precise positioning. Additional features include a cup and bait receiving area with adjustable fasteners, designed to securely hold containers, making the device versatile and functional for fishing activities.
