CLAMPING ASSEMBLY FOR SECTIONED FISHING ROD

摘要

A clamp assembly for maintaining two rod sections parallel to each other includes a collar encircling a longitudinal axis for receiving a first rod section, and a retainer attached to the collar. The retainer has a first hook attached to the collar and a second hook connected to the first hook for receiving a second rod section. The clamp assembly has an open configuration in which the retainer hinges from the collar, and a closed configuration in which the first hook at least partially surrounds the collar. The collar includes a band for encircling the first rod section. The band has a first circumferential end and an opposing second circumferential end that meet to form a closure. A first cylindrically rolled tab extends from the first circumferential end; and a second cylindrically rolled tab extends from the second circumferential end longitudinally offset from the first cylindrically rolled tab.
