Abstract:
Losing your best/favorite reel and rod while fishing, is devastating. I have lost a few. I have observed other fishermen losing reels and rods also due to fish pullover. The fish were literally taking our reels and rods. I said, “There has to be a solution.” I began experimenting with many items from boat holders to bungee cords; from hard materials to soft materials and spikes to rope tees. Nothing worked until I put together The Barge Assistant Rod Saver. The Barge Assistant Rod Saver consists of: a hook, link chain, screws, washers, holding nut and a round weight. This was designed to prevent immediate rod pullover on a fish initial strike. The results were astonishing. The Barge Assistant Rod Saver allowed me time to get to my fishing rods before losing them. I have not lost a rod as a result of using The Barge Assistant Rod Saver.
Abstract:
A device, system, and method for holding one or more structural long objects includes a plurality of adjacent flat membranes that are in direct contact with each other. The membranes have been slit to produce tabs that meet near a center of the membranes to hold the structural long object(s) more effectively than could be accomplished with a single flat membrane with tabs. The membranes are held in the body of the device or system by a retaining device located on one side of the membranes and a retaining feature of the body on the other side of the membranes.
Abstract:
Herein described is a rod holder assembly that holds an object such as a rod receiver for a fishing rod in a desired orientation that is manually and singlehandedly adjustable about the horizontal and/or vertical axes. The rod holder assembly can be set to lock in positional orientation or clutch in response to an external force. A method for using the rod holder assembly is also described.
Abstract:
A combination fishing pole holder and cleat has a bezel portion for affixing to a surface. The bezel portion has a first hole for accepting an object and a shaped indentation to accept and fit a cleat portion. The bezel portion has a pair of studs, each having a cavity formed there within. The cleat portion is shaped to fit within the shaped indentation and has a second hole, also for accepting the object. A pair of legs extends from the cleat portion and through respective studs. Each of the legs is terminated by a device/end that is wider than the cavity of the studs. A tubular portion extends from a side of the bezel and is aligned with both the first hole and the second hole for insertion of the object. The cleat portion moves between a retracted position and an extended position.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A break-away camera mount comprising a support for supporting a camera case steadily above the surfboard, first and second magnetic connectors each configured to magnetically engage each other, but permit detachment upon sufficient shear and/or transverse force being applied to the mount, a base configured to secure the first magnetic connector to the surfboard, and a tether connecting the second magnetic connector to the surfboard.
Abstract:
A fishing rod stand is provided. The fishing rod stand includes a base member and a pivoting member pivotally secured to the base member. The base member includes a top end and a bottom end opposite the top end. A plurality of tubes are secured to the base member. The plurality of tubes are sized to receive at least a portion of a handle of a fishing rod. The pivoting member includes an expanded position and a retracted position. The expanded position includes the pivoting member pivoted away from the base member and supporting the base member in an upright angled position when resting on a surface. The retracted position includes the pivoting member pivoted towards the base member.
Abstract:
A tripod mount for a fishing pole provide an open end and a closed end, and are secured together with a fastening element near their open ends. The user fills the pipes with water by dipping them into a creek or pond, using the water as ballast. The user then spreads the pipes into a tripod form and adjusts the height of the pipes accordingly. The pipes form a fork at their open ends, wherein a fishing rod may be rested.
Abstract:
A fully-integrated fishing caddy system which generally includes a five gallon bucket as a base and a padded lid enclosing the interior of the bucket, the padded lid further serving as a seat for the user. The bucket includes at least one rod holder which can be rotated to different angles to suit the user. There are hooks in the bucket for receiving the fishing line and thereby preventing the wind from blowing the line around, resulting in faster detection of catches. Other features include the ability to place caught fish into the bucket via a chute, cup holders, and drainage spouts.
