Abstract:
A fishing rod holder securing a fishing rod to a ferromagnetic surface, said fishing rod holder comprising a housing having an elongated generally rectangular shape, the elongated generally rectangular shape having a semi-circular recess therein having an upper portion with two legs extending downwardly thereform in a perpendicular arranagement, each of the downwardly extending legs being provided with a magnet recessed therein, the fishing rod is captured in the semi-circular recess between the downwardly extending legs when the downwardly extending legs of the fishing rod holder are employed against said surface, the semi-circular recess being of sufficent diameter to permit passage of and surround a shaft of the fishing rod yet having a sufficient small diameter so as to prevent excessive movement of the shaft of the fishing rod and further preventing a guide eye mounted on the shaft of the fishing rod from passing therethrough wherein the fishing rod is suspended by the guide eye resting on the fishing rod holder such that an end of the fishing rod does not contact the ground, the magnets contained within the downwardly extending legs being recessed into a space within the downwardly extending leg which space is slightly deeper than the magnet such that the magnet is countersunk within the receiving leg so as not to be flush with a base of the downwardly receiving legs to prevent direct contact between the magnet and the ferromagnetic surface onto which the fishing rod holder is mounted.
