Rotary auger fishing pole holder
A rotary auger fishing pole holder for removably holding a handle of a fishing pole or fishing rod in an upright position on the ground. The stand includes an upright rod with a helical coil or flights forming an auger base having a point at the lower distal end to be fixedly and removably screwed into the ground to support the stand in an upright position. The top end of the rod forming the stand body includes a ring or loop for insertion of a proximate end of a fishing rod there thorough and a cup spaced apart from and in alignment with the ring to support a distal end of the pole or rod handle therein. The cup is disposed above a portion of the elongated rod forming an integral S-shaped loop defining a handle for rotating the auger into the ground.

6. A rotary auger fishing pole holder comprising:
a) a helical auger portion comprising:
I) a selected length of bar stock having a square cross sectional area including a bottom portion bent into a helix comprising:
ii) a vertical straight top segment;
iii) a neck portion extending downward from said vertical straight top segment;
iv) a main body portion extending downwardly from said neck portion, said main body portion comprising a helical coil extending downward therefrom a selected distance and having a helical pitch of 2 for every 3.5 revolutions and a variable pitch of 3.0 for every 0.25 revolutions;
v) a distal end segment comprising a half helical coil extending downward from said main body portion; and
vi) said distal end segment including a point for penetration into the ground;
b) a handle extending upward from said vertical straight top segment;
c) a vertical straight top portion; and
d) means for holding a fishing rod handle thereon extending from a top distal end of said vertical straight top portion.
7. The rotary auger fishing pole holder of claim 6 , wherein said main body portion comprises a pitch diameter of 1.375 inches and a helical pitch of 2.0 inches.
8. The rotary auger fishing of claim 6 , wherein said helical coil of said helical auger portion including said main body portion and said distal end segment comprises a square bar stock defines a cutting edge at each corner of said square bar stock.
9. The rotary auger fishing pole holder of claim 6 , said handle comprising a curved portion having at least one “S” shaped loop extending upwardly from a top distal end of said medial section comprising a rod having at least two opposing looped sections spaced apart from and in alignment with one another, said at least two opposing looped sections including a first portion extending outwardly from said medial section at a right angle and a second portion extending upwardly over and spaced apart from and in alignment with said first portion forming a first curved loop extending past medial section a selected equal distance from said medial section and a third top portion extending upwardly over and spaced apart from and in alignment with said second portion forming a second curved portion extending a selected distance in alignment with said medial section.
