<p>ROD HOLDER ASSEMBLY A rod holder assembly adapted for use with a downrigger includes a base having a mounting portion and a bifurcated upper portion which defines a slot. The base is adapted to be secured to the transom, gunwale or other portion of a boat. An elongated, tubular rod holder is pivotally supported within the slot by a pivot pin extending through the bifurcated upper portion of the base. A T-shaped spring bracket extends perpendicularly from the base. A pair of springs extend between the bracket and pivot arms secured to the pivot pin. The springs bias the fishing rod holder to a strike position pointing into the boat. The rod holder is held in a set position when the fishing line is attached to a downrigger line release against the bias of the springs.</p> |
