Claim:
A portable fishing pole holder comprising: a generally “Y” shaped frame which further comprises two members; a first support member, having a first end and a second end, comprising a bent or curved shaft; a second anchor member, having a first end and a second end, comprising a substantially straight shaft joined to said support member, said anchor member extending downwardly from said support member; a bridging member which depends from said first end of said support member to said second end of said support member forming an enclosure, a first end of said bridging member being fastened to said first end of said support member forming a hinged end; wherein said hinged end is allowed to slidably move substantially orthogonally relative to a plane defined by said support member, enabling said hinged end to move slightly out of said plane defined by said support member, thereby enhancing the ability to visually monitor the motion of an engaged fishing pole and allow varying resistance of the engaged fishing pole.
