| 20140144064 | FISHING ROD HOLDER - An apparatus for securing a fishing rod proximate to the arm of a user comprises a strap sized to extend around an arm of a user, a block extending from the strap and a finger extending substantially tangentially from the strap proximate to the block, the finger having a free distal end overlying the block wherein the protrusion and the block form a void sized to retain a fishing rod therein substantially parallel to the arm of the user. | 05-29-2014 |
| 20140202062 | FISHING ROD HOLDER WITH FISHING MOTION CAPABILITY - A fishing rod holder having a spring base, rod receiver, at least one rod receiver arm and a first spring. The spring base being mountable to a secure mount. The rod receiver including a top and bottom, and an open area within the rod receiver at the top to receive a fishing rod. The at least one rod receiver arm connecting the rod receiver to the spring base, wherein the rod receiver is connected by the at least one rod receiver to the spring base such that the rod receiver can pivot to provide motion during fishing. The first spring mounted between the spring base and the rod receiver to provide resistance to movement of the rod receiver. | 07-24-2014 |
| 20140317990 | Fishing Rod Holder - A fishing rod holder for shore-based fishing, comprising a base having two or more recesses, each recess adapted to receive a rod having a fishing rod receiving end at its top end. Mating hook and loop closures on the base and rod shafts allow the rods to be stowed against the base in a storage or transit position. A handle on one long side of the base allows easy transport. Each pair of rods features rods of two lengths: a shorter rod approximately two thirds the length of the longer rod. When the shorter rod is placed closer to the water's edge relative to the longer rod, this orientation is typically used for carp or catfish fishing. When the rod position is reversed, this orientation is suitable for bass or bluegill fishing. A second embodiment allowing multiple rods to be held at the same time is also provided. | 10-30-2014 |

| 20140366427 | Hose Holder and Method - hose holder for a boat, or for another object upon which contact with a hose is undesirable, is a shaped rigid rod provided with a means for suspending the rod close to its midpoint, the shape created by bending each end of the rod into a helix. The rod is smaller in diameter than a common garden hose. The helices have a common, horizontal axis with an inner diameter larger than such a hose. The means for suspending the rod is above the outer diameter of the helices. Other embodiments utilize non-helical rod shapes to support the hose. | 12-18-2014 |
| 20150059231 | Universal Flotation Device - A flotation device defining a narrow middle section, comprising a buoyant core and a shiftable fastening element, and operable to achieve a plurality of engaging configurations, so as to be coupled to a plurality of objects of differing dimension and/or shape, including fishing rods at or near their center of gravity, and assemblies composed therewith. | 03-05-2015 |
| 20150128476 | FISHING APPARATUS - This invention relates to hand cast fishing apparatus which may support a conventional fishing reel to provide the benefits that a fishing reel provides combined with the simplicity and relative compactness of hand cast fishing apparatus. For this purpose the fishing apparatus provides a handpiece supporting a line guide for direct finger monitoring of the set fishing line and from which the line may be hand cast. The fishing reel of choice is attached to a mounting which extends from the handpiece and mounts to the user's forearm. | 05-14-2015 |
| 20150327526 | Handle System for Fishing Rod - A handle system operable in conjunction with a fishing rod and reel has an attachment section and a handle section. An arm of the attachment section is attached to a reel housing. The handle section has an upper handle that is connected to the arm and extends above the reel at an angle less than ninety degrees from the fishing rod. | 11-19-2015 |
| 20150359210 | Fishing Rod Holder Device - A fishing rod holder device keeps fishing poles organized, stable and safe during transportation of the fishing poles. The device includes a first mount and a second mount each mounted to a gunwale of a boat. A first holder is pivotally coupled to the first mount and has an aperture positioned therein for receiving a handle of a fishing pole. A second holder is pivotally coupled to the second mount. The second holder has an opening positioned therein that is alignable with the aperture for receiving a tip of the fishing pole. | 12-17-2015 |
| 20150359211 | ADJUSTABLE ROD HOLDER - A device to hold a fishing rod or a similarly-shaped object. The holder has a generally cylindrical shape with a longitudinal upper opening, whereby the edges of the opening can be drawn together and the diameter of the cylindrical holder decreased, so as to hold generally cylindrical-shaped objects, such as a fishing rod, of varying diameters. The holder can have a stem which can be received by a bore in a mounting bracket that allows the holder to rotate. A nub on the stem fits into slots in the bore, so that the holder can be fixed in one position. | 12-17-2015 |
| 20160044906 | Fishing Rod Holder Device - A fishing rod holder device supports a fishing rod above a ground surface. The device includes a first shaft having a top end and a bottom end. A second shaft is provided having an upper end and a lower end. The second shaft is positioned in spaced parallel relationship relative to the first shaft. The bottom end of the first shaft and the lower end of the second shaft are configured for insertion into a ground surface for elevating the top end of the first shaft and the upper end of the second shaft above the ground surface. A support assembly is coupled to the top end of the first shaft and the upper end of the second shaft. The support assembly is configured for receiving a fishing rod and supporting the fishing rod above the ground surface. | 02-18-2016 |
