Do Your Fishing Hand A Favor And Get Another - Use A Fishing Pole Holder

By Miles Billings


The special relationship between man and the sea involves a critical element. The sustenance that satisfies our physical needs. Fish, whether from the saltwater seas or freshwater bodies, have always played an important part of our diet. They provide some of the most useful micronutrients in the form of vitamins, healthy oils, proteins, and other essential nutrients. There are some of us who consider themselves fishermen by sport, when others make the act their livelihood to support the families. But sometimes, even the best professional needs a little help and this may come in the form of a fishing pole holder.

For those of you who are not fishermen, you may wonder "what is the purpose of a fishing rod holder"? Well it's not like bringing a little a magical creature along with you on expedition to hold your pole.

There are actually many different types of pole holders. These can basically be divided into three main categories; active fishing, mobile storage, or home storable holders.

Active fishing rod holders serve to do just that; hold the pole while fishing. There are many sub-categories to this type that include the shore fishing active holder. This type is designed with a sharp spike that is driven into the ground and has an angled slot at the top that holds the end of the pole. After the fisherman has cast their line and tightened it up, they place it in the holder and wait for the fish to strike.

There are other types of active pole holders that are sub-classed as stationary. These types of holders are usually fastened to the rails of a boat, or even a pier. There are also unique types that modified to be fixed upon abnormal objects like the wheelchair of a disabled fisherman.

Mobile storage pole holders are used to transport the poles from one place to another, so that the poles do not become damaged or tangled. There are adjustable units that you can get that can go into the back of a pick up truck or in a boat.

The home storage versions are another form of permanently installed holders that are typically installed at home. There are commercial versions available for install, but many hardcore fishing enthusiasts will often have this custom built to reflect their own personal equipment.

As you have learned, a fishing pole holder is not just some invisible being that takes the pole, the holder actually takes a very important role, depending upon the particular situation. Perhaps your future fishing experience may one day dictate your need of a fishing pole holder.
