ABSTRACT:
A casting rod combined with an open face reel such that during a cast swing, a main portion of the rod moves in front of the reel to avoid colliding with casting line peeling off at the reel spool. The line is guided by a rod tip guide positioned at a tip portion of the rod. The combination is arranged such that nothing other than the mentioned guide contacts the line during the cast, thereby producing very little friction. During line retrieval, a retrieval guide positioned between the reel and the rod tip guide, guides the line onto the grooved rim of a roller as the rod bends under load. Several embodiments of the invention include various mechanisms for releasing the line during the cast swing. The rod can cast heavy lines without backlash and has applications that are not limited to fishing.
