Abstract
This invention provides a modular fishing rod holster arrangement having a backing plate with a plurality of slots located at for removably receiving a semi-cylindrical pipe and a belt clip assembly on each of opposing sides of the backing plate. The backing plate and slots are constructed and arranged to allow the pipe and belt clip assembly to be located on either of opposing sides of the backing plate. The pipe is oriented at an acute angle relative to the vertical so that a handle of a fishing rod can removably reside within the pipe at a forward-facing angle one either the left side or right side of the user. The pipe includes, at a top end thereof, a keyway locking mechanism that rotatably engages and captures the shaft of the reel foot in either a left-sided or right-sided position. The arrangement can be constructed from molded polymer.
