20100050496 | FISHING ROD WITH ERGONOMIC HANDLE - The present invention provides a fishing rod with ergonomic handle. The disclosed fishing rod places the angler's wrist in a more ergonomically correct position while waiting for a fish to strike. To accomplish this the fishing rod includes a flexible rod including a plurality of ferrules extending downward; a handle including a primary handle substantially parallel to and vertically above the flexible rod and a secondary handle extending upwards from the primary handle. The primary handle also includes a reel seat for downward attachment of a fishing reel. A transition structure is joined at one end to the flexible rod and at the opposing end to the upper portion of the secondary handle. | 03-04-2010 |
20100212209 | FISHING ROD SUPPORT - The fishing rod support is a versatile device providing support or bracing for the handle or butt of a fishing rod against a portion of the angler's body. The support includes an elongate pad joined to a crosspiece having three sockets. When the butt of the rod is placed in either of the two aligned sockets, the pad is generally parallel to the rod. This allows the pad to be placed under the arm to restrain upward movement of the rod butt as the angler lifts the rod. Alternatively, the butt of the rod may be placed in the third socket, with the pad aligned generally perpendicular to the rod. In this configuration, the pad is placed against the forward body of the angler (e.g., upper thigh, hip, waist, etc.) for bracing. The fishing rod support is particularly useful for anglers having back pain or limited upper body strength. | 08-26-2010 |

The grip of certain embodiments includes a flexible mounting tube that engages the proximal end of the rod and a sheet including a polymer outside layer and a fibrous inside layer. In some embodiments, the sheet has a configuration corresponding to the exterior shape of the flexible mounting tube, being wrapped about and adhered to the mounting tube, with the side edges of the sheet abutting one another to define a substantially longitudinal seam extending from the interior surface of the sheet to the exterior surface of the polymer layer. In some embodiments, the grip includes a tube and a strip that is spirally wrapped around the tube to form a substantially helical seam. | 10-27-2011 |
20120180374 | Cushion for butt-end of fishing rod - An elastic cushion for enveloping the butt-end of a fishing rod. The cushion includes a unitary body having a cylindrical section at one end and a bulbous section at the opposite end. A central bore extends through the cushion. The central bore tapers from a large adjacent the one end to a second diameter located within the bulbous section to removably retain the rod in the central bore. An exterior surface of the bulbous section has a plurality of separate flutes for enhancing a frictional gripping of the bulbous section of the cushion body with the fisher-person's body and at least one of the flutes transitioning onto an exterior surface of the cylindrical section to enhance the frictional gripping of at least one hand of the fisher-person with the exterior surface of the cylindrical section. | 07-19-2012 |
20120255216 | FISHING POLE GRIP - The grip of certain embodiments includes a flexible mounting tube that can engage a rod and a sheet that including a polymer outside layer and inside layer and is attached to the tube.
