Abstract

A device for holding a fishing rod or fishing pole includes a holder tube. The holder tube includes a body defining a cavity for receiving one end of the fishing pole or fishing rod, and an opening in the body at a proximal end of the holder tube. The device also includes an auger coupled to a distal end of the holder tube. The auger includes an auger bar and an auger plate. The auger plate is configured to assist with securing the auger in a surface in response to rotating the auger. The device further includes a handle removably coupled to the holder tube and the auger. The handle extends from opposing sides of the pole holder perpendicular to a long axis of the holder tube.

Claims (42)

1. A device for holding a fishing rod or fishing pole, comprising:

a holder tube comprising:

a body defining a cavity for receiving one end of the fishing pole or fishing rod, and

an opening in the body at a proximal end of the holder tube;

an auger coupled to a distal end of the holder tube and comprising:

an auger bar, and

an auger plate configured to assist with securing the auger in a surface in response to rotating the auger, the auger plate comprising a plurality of disk wedges that form a spiral around the auger bar; and

a handle removably coupled to the holder tube and the auger, wherein the handle extends from opposing sides of the holder tube perpendicular to a long axis of the holder tube.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the auger plate comprises:

a central wedge lying in a plane perpendicular to a long axis of the auger rod;

a plurality of descending wedges angled toward a distal end of the auger rod relative to the central wedge; and

a plurality of ascending wedges angle towards the proximal end of the auger rod.

3. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a connection device that couples the auger to the holder tube, the connection device comprising:

a proximal section configured to be inserted into the distal end of the holder tube, and

a distal section having a cavity for receiving a proximal end of the auger bar.

4. The device of claim 3 , wherein the proximal section has a cylindrical shape, and the distal section has a frustoconical shape.

5. The device of claim 3 , wherein the handle is inserted through the holder tube and the proximal section of the connection device.

6. The device of claim 3 , further comprising:

a lanyard coupled to the connection device at one end and coupled to the handle at a second end.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein one or more of the holder tube, the auger, or the handle are constructed of an aluminum alloy.

8. A device for holding a fishing rod or fishing pole, comprising:

a holder tube comprising:

a body defining a cavity for receiving one end of the fishing pole or fishing rod, and

an opening in the body at a proximal end of the holder tube;

an auger coupled to a distal end of the holder tube and comprising:

an auger bar, and

an auger plate configured to assist with securing the auger in a surface in response to rotating the auger;

a handle removably coupled to the holder tube and the auger, wherein the handle extends from opposing sides of the holder tube perpendicular to a long axis of the holder tube; and

a connection device that couples the auger to the holder tube, the connection device comprising:

a proximal section configured to be inserted into the distal end of the holder tube, and

a distal section having a cavity for receiving a proximal end of the auger bar, wherein the handle is inserted through the holder tube and the proximal section of the connection device.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the auger plate comprises:

a plurality of disk wedges that form a spiral around the auger bar.

10. The device of claim 9 , wherein the auger plate comprises:

a central wedge lying in a plane perpendicular to a long axis of the auger rod;

a plurality of descending wedges angled toward a distal end of the auger rod relative to the central wedge; and

a plurality of ascending wedges angle towards the proximal end of the auger rod.

11. The device of claim 8 , wherein the proximal section has a cylindrical shape, and the distal section has a frustoconical shape.

12. The device of claim 8 , further comprising:

a lanyard coupled to the connection device at one end and coupled to the handle at a second end.

13. The device of claim 8 , wherein one or more of the holder tube, the auger, or the handle are constructed of an aluminum alloy.
