This came up on another forum and curiosity has gotten me - spreading the search a little wider. Anybody know where these came from and if they are still made/sold? One commenter thought that they used to be sold at K-mart, and a couple folks had them on boats but didn't know where they had come from and could not find them to add/replace.
I don't quite understand how they work, but I suspect the bottom piece swings out to catch the bottom of the rod handle.
