Abstract
Abstract A tubular fishing rod holder with a bite signal can be secured in the ground with a removable stake or can be fixed to a boat or pier with a clamp which is adjustable to any angle or position. The stake may be stored inside the tube when not in use, and the boat clamp folds into a compact unit, thus allowing the whole assembly to easily fit into a tackle box.
