A vehicle fishing rod holder with a rod holder body that is couplable to the bed of a truck in a locked configuration utilizing one or more mounting brackets. The rod holder body defines a holding channel for a fishing rod and a discontinuous slot for receiving a rod reel post of the fishing rod. A locking bar is coupled to the rod holder body and is operably configured to selectively lock the rod and reel into place by being positioned over the rod reel post. The rod holder body is also vertically adjustable using a clamping member and rotationally adjustable or pivoted using one or more arms.

A convertible tube adapter including a top connection point, a shaft, a bottom connection point and a knob. The top connection point includes a plurality of connection contacts integrated on a first side of the top connection point, a fastener receiving surface integrated on a second side of the top connection point and an aperture incorporated between the plurality of connection contacts and the fastener receiving surface. The shaft is configured for insertion into a tube which is fixedly integrated into an object. The shaft includes a pair of bumpers located on each side, which each extends outward from a side surface of the shaft. The bottom connection point is attached to a bottom end of the shaft and includes a carve-out structure integrated into its rear surface which is configured to receive a mating pin positioned at the bottom of the tube to prevent the adapter from rotating in the tube. The adapter is configured to effectively convert the tube into a mount when the shaft is inserted into the tube by allowing an article to attach to the top connection point of the adapter.

The fishing rod holder and retainer are configured to hold and retain a fishing rod in a gunwale of a boat. A cylindrical tube is coupled to a top plate and configured to extend downwardly at an angle into the gunwale of the boat to hold the butt of the fishing rod. A rod retainer includes a retainer tether having a retainer fastener at a distal end thereof and positioned for extension at the top plate adjacent the retainer opening to couple to the fishing rod. A biasing device is coupled to the retainer tether at a proximal portion thereof and configured to bias the retainer tether downwardly. The biasing device may include a spring loaded locking spool (e.g. a brake) positioned at a bottom of the cylindrical tube and configured to store a proximal portion of the retainer tether thereon.

A fishing rod holder includes a tubular member having an elongate channel portion and a collar portion. The upper end of the channel portion has a U-shaped lip that extends rearwardly and a slot that engages the U-shaped lip. A collar portion extends over the elongate channel. A ramp extends from a bottom end of the elongate channel portion. The tubular member receives a handle end of the fishing rod such that the handle end engages and slides down the angled ramp until the fishing rod engages a bottom end of the collar portion. Another portion of the fishing rod engages the U-shaped lip and slot, providing a secure engagement with the fishing rod.

A holder for securing a rod, having a rod end and an oppositely disposed rod tip, to a boat top having at least a first pole and a spaced-apart second pole, includes a rod end assembly that includes a first clamp that is securable to the first pole and a rod end extension that is configured to secure the rod end, the rod end. A rod tip assembly includes a second clamp that is securable to the second pole and a rod tip extension that is configured to secure the rod tip. The rod end assembly and the rod tip assembly each include an angular adjustment mechanism that adjusts an angle of each of the rod end assembly and the rod tip assembly so as to align the rod end extension with the rod tip extension.
