A rod holding device comprises an elongate low strut, an elongate pivot strut, a first range plate, and a second range plate. The first range plate is spaced from the second range plate and both plates are fixed to a superior end of the low strut which is positioned between the range plates. A pivot joint provides pivoting motion between the pivot strut and low strut for various storage and operational configurations. A clamp assembly engages the first range plate, second range plate and pivot strut for angular locking between the pivot strut and the low strut. A holder assembly comprising an upper rod holder and a lower rod holder is fixed to the pivot strut for holding rods therein. The rod holding device is releasable from an anchor fixed to a base panel.

A fishing rod holder is described. The fishing rod holder may be used in a variety of manners, including on land and at sea (on a boat). The fishing rod holder may be used in a recess or a sleeve built into the boat, used in a fighting chair, or even held by the fisherman as needed. The rod holder may further allow the fishing rod to rotate during, for example, trolling or other types of fishing. The fishing rod holder also includes a structure that supports the fishing rod when the fishing rod begins to bend or flex under the weight of a fish.

Automatic jigging machines for fishing purposes each feature a stationary base, and a bending beam load cell by that supports a fishing rod in cantilevered fashion from the base and serves as a bite sensor for detecting a hooked fish, and alerting the user via an alarm function. An electric motor driven in cyclically alternating directions causes automatic jigging of the fishing line, whether through motor-driven reel operation, or through motor-driven tilting of the fishing rod about a pivot point by a screw-based drive mechanism. Where a motorized reel on a removable fishing rod is used for jigging purposes, a manual-override switch is included to enable immediate and convenient manual takeover of the reeling in process by simple grabbing of the fishing rod handle.

A fishing rod holder system for easily transporting, storing, and/or using fishing rods, including one or more rod holders and/or one or more accessory holders releasably mountable to a receiving member affixed to a separate structure. The one or more rod holders and/or one or more accessory holders can be attachable/detachable and swivelable/rotatable about the receiving member. In some embodiments, the positions of the one or more rod holders and/or one or more accessory holders can be fixed or adjustable with respect to the receiving member.

A mount including a base and a handle. The base is capable of releasably coupling to a pole, for example outrigger poles, fishing rods, and shade poles. A handle of the mount can be loosened to allow the base to be rotated to position the pole in a desired extended direction. When the handle is tightened, the base is restricted from rotating.
