Benefits of technology

The present invention provides an improved design that can be used with different ways such as carrying fishing rod and reel, converting into a seat cushion for easy transportation when fishing without getting cold or sleepy, and also being able to provide protection from rain or snow during fishing activities.

Problems solved by technology

This patent describes a problem with transporting fishing rods and reels from boats without protective cases. When they are taken away, there may be issues with their comfort level during use due to being too stiff and causing discomfort. Additionally, these items have limited usable life once they get wet. There also exist carrying cases that provide padding on the back but cannot be used as a blanket or poncho.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a soft and durable carrying case for transporting one or more fishing rods (typically a 2 piece rod) and reels that affords protection as well as buoyancy if dropped in the water. The inner foam material is specially made, and sewed into the nylon shell to aid in buoyancy and protecting the rods and reels from damage. The carrying case can also be used to transport other types if equipment that are a maximum of 43 inches in length. The present invention can be reconfigured into a seat cushion after taking out the rods and reels. Said seat cushion is designed in such a manner as to prevent pain to the tailbone. The dual usage capability of the present invention allows for the consumer to alleviate 2 problems (carrying a fishing rod and reel easily) and preventing pain to the tailbone when sitting down while fishing. Another feature of the present invention is a 3rd or 4th use whereby, the carrying case can be further reconfigured as a blanket or poncho. The case is made of nylon, polyester and foam construction or other suitable materials for cushioning and warming effect.
