Abstract
A lower arm encircling brace and support portion and an upper arm encircling brace and support portion are hingedly connected together so that when fit about and to the arm of a person, to each side of their elbow, the device does not interfere with bending of the arm. Each support portion is formed of relatively flexible but sturdy material and extends almost around and for the length of their respective arm portions. Velcro straps are utilized to fit the portions snugly and securely to the person's arm. A fishing rod support fixture is carried by the device to receive and facilitate disposition and use of relatively long 'spinning type' fishing rods particularly by children and persons of slight build. The fishing rod support fixture can either be disposed at the hinge connection with its disposition further supported by a stabilizing strap, or at a disposition centered end-to-end on the lower arm encircling brace and support portion. The fixture can either be one that is formed with a pair of space legs open at the extremities thereof or as a circular ring and can include alternative constructions of a pair of adjacent rings or three spaced legs forming between alternate pairs of legs two spaced openings. A cup-like butt receiver may also be utilized and constructed with cross-bar like members to seat in cross-grooves formed at the butt end of the fishing rod.
