Benefits of technology

[0010] The fishing pole holder of the present invention overcomes shortcomings in prior art designs such as those shown in the previously discussed prior art patents. It simplifies trolling operation or stationary off-shore fishing from a boat using two fishing poles from one location. It makes provision for positioning each pole, one with respect to the other, with the fishing poles within arm reach so that the fisherman can achieve tangle-free operation of both poles simultaneously.
[0011] The fishing pole holder of the invention includes supporting structure that permits the fisherman to adjust the poles to any desired position while keeping the fishing lines far enough apart to avoid tangling, and for adjusting the angularity of each fishing pole independently of the other fishing pole in multiple adjustment planes. The holder includes clamping structure, such as a C-clamp, and a yieldable reaction cushion member that provide rigidity and stability at anchor points for each pole. The clamping structure permits the fishing pole holder to be mounted or removed readily from a gunwale or transom of a fishing boat without the use of special tools.

Problems solved by technology

Such known fishing pole holders, however, are heavy and are of complex construction.
Furthermore, they are not adaptable for easy storage when not in use.
A fishing pole holder of this type is not adaptable for trolling or other off-shore fishing.
Unlike the previously mentioned prior art designs, the design of U.S. Pat. No. 5,131,179 is designed to hold two fishing poles simultaneously, but it is restricted in its application to on-shore surf fishing.
The dual fishing pole holder of the '179 patent, which is anchored when in use to a fish bucket, is not adaptable for off-shore trolling.

Example

[0019] The dual fishing pole holder of the invention comprises a C-clamp 10 with clamping arms 12 and 14 arranged in spaced parallel relationship, and a threaded adjusting shaft 16 is threadably received in a threaded opening in one end of the arm 12. A manual adjusting lever 18 at the outboard end of the threaded shaft 16 permits the fisherman to rotate the threaded shaft 16 so that it advances toward or retracts from a flexible compliant abutment 20, which is engageable with the outboard side of a generally vertical transom, or side wall, or gunwale of a fishing boat. The abutment 20 is secured to the base plate 22 by bolts 26 or other suitable fastening means. A transom or gunwale is illustrated schematically at 24 in FIG. 6.

[0020] A vertical right angle bracket 28 is secured to the outboard surface of a base plate 22 by fastening devices 30, or by welding, or by other suitable fastening techniques. The arm 14 of the C-clamp 10 is secured to one face of the angle bracket 28 by suit

Abstract

A fishing pole holder for supporting multiple fishing poles on a fishing boat wall. The holder includes clamping structure for securing the holder to a boat wall and accommodating ready attachment to the boat wall and removal for storage without a need for special tools. Holder elements are adjustable to provide desired pole separation and desired elevation angle during trolling events.
