Combination fishing rod holder

摘要

A combination fishing rod holder is disclosed which includes a first rod holder in the form of a support cradle for supporting a fishing rod in a generally cantilevered fishing position. The first rod holder is affixed to a standard mounted to an associated structure such as the gunwale of a boat. A second rod holder is also carried by the standard which includes an upright holder for holding the fishing rod in a generally upright, travel position when the boat is moving over the water. Preferably the upright holder comprises a plurality of vertical, spaced holder rings which receive the butt of a fishing rod. The rings are affixed to a post secured in the clamp of an adjustable mount assembly which secures the second rod holder to the standard and/or first rod holder. The post may be moved in and out of the clamp radially with respect to the fishing rod butt so that free ends of the clamping jaws penetrate the rod holder rings and engage the butt to hold it securely in place during travel.
