ABSTRACT:
A thumb-operated fishing line choke accessory that may be installed to an existing fishing rod for choking the line when preparing to cast, as well as for choking the line after the cast has been made in order to accurately pinpoint the drop of the lure being cast. The device has a clamping member that is adapted to be fastened to the front end of the rod handle, a thumb-engaging actuator member that is pivotally connected to the clamping member, and a movable collar that is carried by the rod and acted upon by the actuator and serves as an anchor for one end of a pair of parallel wire members that are supported along the length of the rod. There is a combined fishing line ring guide and choke member mounted intermediate the length of the rod, and it has an inclined guide frame supporting a smooth ring guide through which the fishing line extends, as well as a movable choke member that is attached to the other end of the pair of wire members. The guide frame includes a resilient stop against which the fishing line is adapted to be forced by the choke member when the actuator member is operated.
