Abstract
Abstract A fishing pole having telescopic rod sections is disassembled and the rod sections are held in parallel side-by-side relationship by a pair of holders each having oppositely extending resilient jaws engaging the opposite ends of the rod sections. A hook is provided on each of the holders for wrapping the fish line. Each holder includes a solid block of resilient rubber material and channel-shaped arms extend from each side on each end of the block. Rollers are provided on the free ends of the arms between the flanges of the channels. The arms or jaws are yieldably moved to an open position upon insertion or removal of the rod section between them and the rod section is held tightly in place by the rollers pressing the rod section against the rubber block. The resiliency of the arms may be changed by providing a slot into the block along its centerline and the jaws will also accommodate a larger in diameter rod section.
