Abstract:
A bait rigging tool holder system for efficiently supporting fishing-related tools for easy access comprising, in combination:a polymer board base plate of a generally rectilinear configuration with an inner surface and an outer surface and positionable in an essentially vertical plane and having a top edge and a bottom edge and a pair of parallel side edges thereby forming four corners, the base plate have two upper attachment apertures located adjacent to each of the upper corners of the base plate, the base plate have two lower attachment apertures located adjacent to each of the lower corners of the base plate, three laterally aligned upper coupling apertures located about one third of the distance down from the upper edge, three laterally aligned lower coupling apertures located about one third of the distance up from the lower edge, the coupling apertures being countersunk from the inner surface; a polymer board upper support plate of a generally rectilinear configuration with an upper surface and an lower surface and positionable in an essentially horizontal plane and having a front edge and a rear edge and a pair of parallel side edges, three laterally spaced upper coupling recesses in the inner edge aligned with the upper coupling apertures, and three coupling screws coupling the upper support plate to the base plate, a plurality of holes extending through the upper support plate including a centrally located circular central hole, an oval hole on each side of the central hole, a plurality of small holes adjacent to the front and side edges, and an angled hole between the central hole and each of the oval holes with a pair of slots formed in the upper support plate between the coupling screws adjacent to the base plate; a polymer board lower support plate of a generally rectilinear configuration with an upper surface and an lower surface and positionable in an essentially horizontal plane and having a front edge and a rear edge and a pair of parallel side edges, three laterally spaced lower coupling recesses in the inner edge aligned with the lower coupling apertures, and three coupling screws coupling the lower support plate to the base plate, a plurality of holes extending through the lower support plate including a centrally located circular central hole, an oval hole on each side of the central hole, and a plurality of small holes adjacent to the front and side edges; a pair of short upper attachment screws extending through the upper attachment apertures, a pair of long lower attachment screws extending through the lower attachment apertures and protruding outwardly from the exterior face of the base plate and an intermediate screw protruding outwardly from the base plate beneath the lower plate; and a plurality of tools including, a fish hook extractor positioned within the central hole, a pair of pliers positioned within the oval holes, a plurality of hooks positioned within the small holes, a pair of sewing needles positioned within the angled holes, a pair of knives positioned within the slots, elastic bands positioned on the lower attachment screws, and leader material positioned on the intermediate screw.
