ABSTRACT:
This float is for commercial fishing trollers and is adjustable so that the same float, after adjustment, may be used with a starboard or port sheer line or a straight line of a multiple line, trolling system. The float element is a relatively long, tall, and thin prism or parallelepiped having desired rigidity and density - the latter to cause it to float high in water. When in use with a fishing, trolling line, it floats with its thin dimension horizontal, thus standing vertical on one of its narrow side surfaces. A bottom plate is connected with the float. In a first embodiment, four holes extend through said plate, with a pair thereof at each end portion thereof, one of each pair toward the center crosswise considered and the others of both pairs toward the same side. An end hook for pivotally mounting an end portion of a rod is detachably connected to a selected hole at each end portion of the float. A center pivot support is mounted on said plate. A rod having a center U-bend, as a handle, is pivotally mounted at its center on said center pivot support and at its end by said hook members. The rod end portions are arcuately bent to form, with other holes in the plate, guides for a fishing line. Locking means are provided to cooperate with the rod handle portion when the rod is turned until the rod handle is flush with said plate.
In a second embodiment, a mounting ear is fixedly attached transversely to each end of the bottom plate to extend laterally beyond the side of said bottom plate. Three pairs of holes are spaced along the length of each mounting ear, with one pair of said holes located in the portion of said mounting ears extending laterally beyond the sides of the bottom plate. An end hook for pivotally mounting the rod near its ends is detachably connected to a selected hole of the said pair of mounting plate holes. The corresponding rod end portions, which guide the fishing line, are engageable into the remaining hole of the said pair of mounting plate holes. Furthermore, the center pivot support can be angularly adjusted on respect to the bottom plate so that the orientation of said center pivot support corresponds to the selected orientation of the rod. The float body, moreover, is provided with a slot or hand-hold through which the float can be held while it is being attached to or detached from a moving fishing line.
