20120055069 | Rod hugger reel clamp - This improvement to the standard reel clamp for a fishing reel is manufactured with nuts that are self-contained with the aid of a collar on each end of the nut. The collars keep the nuts from being lost during the process of storage and ease the installation of reels on the fishing rod. The nuts can be loosened to remove and attach fishing reels, but because the flanges at the ends of the nuts are larger than the nuts themselves, they will not fall out of or get lost from the reel clamp. | 03-08-2012 |

20120311915 | QUICK RELEASE FLY REEL ADAPTER - An apparatus for coupling a fishing rod to a reel comprises a rod mount for attachment to a reel seat of a fishing pole and a first body defining a first attachment portion. A reel mount includes a rod seat for attachment to a fishing reel and a second body having a second attachment portion configured to be selectively and releasably attached to the first attachment portion of the first body. A support arm includes a retaining portion configured to be selectively and releasably attached to the reel mount. A latch is coupled to the reel mount to secure the reel mount to the rod mount and is configured for being movable from a first position where the rod mount is secured to the reel mount to a second position where the rod mount can be separated from the reel mount. | 12-13-2012 |
20130000178 | Fishing Rod Components and Method of Making and Using the Same - Fishing rod components and method of making and using the same are disclosed. The fishing rod components include a fishing rod reel seat with one or more removable handles. The fishing rod components also include a multi-functional anchoring device that secures a fishing rod to the ground, dock, boat, or other object. The disclosed anchoring device may include two main securing devices: a ground spike and a clamp. The ground spike is used primarily for securing a fishing rod to the ground, and the clamp is used to secure a fishing rod to a dock, boat, or numerous other objects. The ground spike and clamp may be combined into one compact unit that can either be integrated into and form a removable fishing rod handle, or be a separate unit that resides underneath a fishing rod handle during use. | 01-03-2013 |
20130180157 | Spinning Reel Seat with Line Cutter - An improved spinning reel seat with line cutter is provided, comprising a spinning reel seat having a base, wherein the base includes an upper grip and a mounting receptacle for attaching a line cutter; a line cutter having a mounting portion, wherein the mounting portion is adapted to matingly and detachably engage the mounting receptacle of the base; a slot formed into the line cutter, wherein the slot is adapted to accept a portion of fishing line; and a blade having a cutting edge, wherein the blade is positioned within the slot, and wherein the cutting edge is exposed to cut the fishing line when the fishing line is pressed against the cutting edge. | 07-18-2013 |
20130283665 | Seat for Spinning Reel - A handle for a fishing rod is provided. The handle is of multi-piece construction and comprises a reel seat for securely receiving a fishing reel of various types.

20140101983 | ADJUSTIBLE FISHING-REEL MOUNT AND METHODS OF USE - The disclosure is directed generally to an apparatus used to adjustably mount a fishing reel to the control end of a fishing rod. The fishing-reel-mounting apparatus is comprised of two main parts: (1) a rigid, light-weight, longitudinal track that is adapted to be securely and coupled to the standard reel-mounting region at the control end of a fishing rod, and (2) a sturdy, light-weight reel-carriage device that is adapted to be surely coupled at its top surface to the base of a fishing reel and is adapted to be slidably, adjustably, and lockably coupled at its lower surfaces to the longitudinal track. Among the key advantages of the fishing-reel-mounting apparatus is the ability for fishermen in the field to easily manipulate the balance of a fishing rod by allowing the adjustment of the longitudinal position of a fishing reel attached to a fishing rod. | 04-17-2014 |
