A fishing rod carrier includes a plurality of horizontal elongate tubes each sized to receive a fishing rod, the elongate tubes being stacked on plural levels, each elongate tube is capped at the distal end. A reel box is attached to the proximal ends of the plurality of elongate tubes and defines an interior space that is continuous with an interior of each of the plurality of elongate tubes, and is configured to enclose a plurality of reels while they are attached to a corresponding plurality of fishing rods disposed within the plurality of elongate tubes. A clamping mechanism is configured to secure the fishing rod carrier to a rooftop rack of an auto.

A fishing rod holder formed from a rod holder base securable to a vessel having a protective cover that attaches to the rod holder base. The protective cover shields the rod holder base fasteners from direct exposure to the elements. The protective cover can be replaced without disturbing the rod holder base attachment. The protective cover conceals the rod holder base and mounting bracket, providing an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

An outrigger positioner for moving an outrigger pole from a stowage position to a deployed position, and from the deployed position to a stowage position. The outrigger driver positioner has a top assembly including a main arm pivotally attached to a base configured for receipt of an outrigger pole. A worm gear assembly is in the pivot arm is moved by a motor, causing the main arm to elevate from a horizontal position to an elevated position. A second motor is coupled to a worm gear assembly in the base assembly which is coupled to the base of the top assembly. The motor rotates the top assembly from a position parallel to a centerline of the boat to a desired position off the beam of the vessel.

A fishing system for fishing in a center console or smaller fishing boat in the big or rough seas is provided. The fishing system may include a teaser rigger mounted to the fishing boat, wherein a teaser release line is received through at least two pulleys and operatively associating a teaser to a boom. The fishing system may separately or in combination include a leader saver connected to a fishing rod in the fishing boat. The fishing system may separately or in combination include a non-skid material of fighting chair frictionally engaging a flat surface provided in the fishing boat.

A fishing rod vibration system including a battery powered electronics system, programmable motor controller, and user interface, as well as a vibrator selectively and detachably coupled to the electronics system for receiving output signals from the motor controller. The electronics system and user interface may be disposed in or on a fishing reel, and the electronic vibrator may be collocated with the electronics system or disposed on a fishing rod separated from the electronics system.

A tip-down fishing rod holder comprising three legs, two plates, two arms, and a rod holder strap with a pivot pin. The various components of the fishing rod holder are held together by fasteners, some of which are pivots that allow the three legs to rotate relative to the two arms. Thus, the rod holder is configured to shift between a roughly tri-pod configuration to securely hold a fishing rod while fishing and a folded configuration in which the holder has a substantially flat configuration to provide easy transport and storage.
