Abstract
Rod and reel storage apparatus, designed for temporary or permanent storage of fishing rod and reels, which includes a pair of holders, each holder having a mounting bracket, an upwardly extending arm rotatably and removably attached to the bracket, and a loop assembly attached to the top of the arm, the loop assembly including at least one loop having an obliquely located slot at its uppermost end; the loop adapted to receive a fishing rod at a downwardly oblique angle and adapted to prevent removal of the rod at an angle upwardly parallel to the loop axis. The apparatus may also contain a hinge, substantially in the center of the arm for lateral movement of upper part of the arm and the attached loop assembly. The apparatus may also contain means for rotating the loop assembly. A coating of a resilient plastic material on the loop assembly for protecting the rods and reels from abrasion is also provided.
