ABSTRACT:
A fishing rod adapter for interconnecting a hand-held power tool and a fishing reel comprises a fishing rod connector adapted to received the shaft of a traditional hand-held fishing rod, a cylindrically hollow housing having anterior and posterior axial openings, and a drive mechanism disposed partially within the housing. The fishing rod connector is adapted to detachably seat within the anterior opening of the housing, such that the housing provides a handle or base for the fishing rod shaft, suitable for gripping with one hand. Within the housing, adjacent the anterior opening is the internal drive mechanism comprising a axially aligned shaft receiver and a number of transfer gears. The posterior opening of the housing is configured to detachably secure a hand-held power tool within the housing, opposite the fishing rod shaft, such that a drive shaft of the power tool is operatively coupled to the shaft receiver of the internal drive mechanism. The transfer gear combination within the drive mechanism transfers the axially aligned rotary motion generated by the drive shaft of the power tool to a radial drive gear disposed external to the housing. Additional fittings on the exterior surface of the housing are adapted to receive and secure a traditional hand-cranked fishing reel in a spaced relationship to the external drive gear. Removal and replacement of the crank handle on the fishing reel with a reel shaft and gear combination permits an operative engagement between the fishing reel and the power tool through the transfer gears and radial drive gear, such that actuation of the power tool results in a rapid rewinding of any fishing line previously dispensed from the fishing reel.
