Patent attributes
A spring-loaded fishing pole holder and method of operation retains a fishing pole in a fishing position by a tension-adjustable, interchangeable spring, and upon mechanical detection of the fish taking the bait, a trigger subassembly triggers the fishing rod to automatically articulate upward to a hooked position using the tension load applied by the spring; whereby the fishing pole may then be removed from the device to manually reel in the fish. A height adjustable stand mounts the device on ground surface. A pole-retention tube receives the handle of the fishing pole. A motion-sensitive line retention bar creates a counter-tension to the tension load on the tube support bar, whereby upon detection of a force exerted on the fishing line, a trigger lever disengages from the fishing line, causing the counter-tension to be removed, and the pole holder to automatically snap back to a release hooked position.
