Benefits of technology

[0007]The present invention also features a method of securing a fishing rod to a dock. In some embodiments, the method comprises providing a fishing rod holder device; sliding the second T-bar in between two parallel planks of a dock; rotating the first T-bar between about 10 to 170 degrees (e.g., 90 degrees) effectively rotating the second T-bar between about 10 to 170 degrees (e.g., 90 degrees); rotating the wing nut in the first direction causing the wing nut to push downwardly onto the first end of the sliding tube, the sliding tube to compress the spring, and the shaft to move upwardly effectively raising the second T-bar toward the bottom surface of the mounting base, the wing nut is rotated until the second T-bar and mounting base squeeze the planks of the docks sufficiently to immobilize the mounting base; and inserting a fishing rod into the pole holding tube.

Problems solved by technology

Fishing rod holders that can be secured to a dock typically require labor-intensive installation with screws, resulting in a permanent attachment to the dock.

Embodiment Construction

[0014]Referring now to FIGS. 1-5, the present invention features a novel fishing rod holder device 100 that can be temporarily secured to a dock. The fishing rod holder device 100 of the present invention stabilizes and secures fishing rods on a dock and does not require screws of bolts (or tools) for installation.

[0015]The fishing rod holder device 100 of the present invention comprises a mounting base 110 having a top surface 113, a bottom surface 114, a first side edge 111, and a second side edge 112. Extending upwardly from the top surface 113 of the mounting base 110 (e.g. near the first side edge 111 of the mounting base 110) is a pole holding tube 120 (e.g., a generally hollow pole holding tube 120) adapted to hold (e.g., snugly) the handle area a fishing rod 101. The pole holding tube 120 is positioned at an angle with respect to the top surface 113 of the mounting base 110 (e.g., see angle a of FIG. 2). For example, in some embodiments, the angle (e.g., angle a) is between ...

Abstract

A fishing rod holder device for temporarily securing to a dock. The device features a mounting base, a pole holding tube extending upwardly at an angle from the mounting base, a channel aperture disposed in the mounting base; and a locking means for securing the mounting base to a dock in a tool-free and hardware-free manner. The locking means features a locking means base dispose don the mounting base, a sliding tube telescopically received in the locking means base, a shaft extending through both the sliding tube and locking means base, a first T-bar disposed on the shaft above the sliding tube and a second T-bar disposed on the shaft below the mounting base. The second T-bar can be moved upwardly toward the mounting base to compress planks of a dock to secure the device to the dock.
