ABSTRACT:
A fishing rod assembly with interchangeable handle components permits different reels, different counterweights or counterweight amounts, and even different rod blank assemblies, to be assembled and used interchangeably with one another for different types of fishing (fly casting, spinning, trolling, etc.) as desired. The handle assembly includes a threaded sleeve which is used to secure various collars and different types of reels thereto. A finger grip or trigger may be installed using these components to provide better casting for certain types of fishing. The rod blank passes through a closely fitting axial passage through the handle assembly, with the butt end of the rod blank assembly protruding slightly from the butt end of the handle assembly. The butt end of the rod blank includes an attachment fitting for a counterweight assembly, with different counterweight assemblies being interchangeably installable to the butt end of the rod blank and handle, or different amounts of weight being interchangeably installable within the counterweight assembly. The rod blank also includes a fitting immovably affixed to the portion adjacent the front of the handle assembly when the rod blank is installed therein, with the fitting mating with a cooperating socket in the front end of the handle assembly to preclude relative axial rotation between the rod blank and the handle assembly when the components are secured together.
