ABSTRACT:
A device for casting a weighted fishing line that includes a hollow cylindrical member having threaded thereon at one end a conical augered spike and having on the other end a cap which is held onto the cylindrical member by means of a ridge on the cylindrical member. The cap has a slot which corresponds with a slot in the cylindrical member through which the fishing line is threaded. The casting device is adapted for use with the fishing line attached to a weight of a geometrical shape such that it will not pass through the aperture in the cylindrical member. The augered spike is screwed into the earth, the weighted line is placed into the cylindrical member and the cap placed onto the member such that when pressure is applied to the fishing line this pressure is transferred to the cap on the cylindrical member by means of the weight on the line which is pulled up against the slot in the member to release the cap.
The pressure necessary to free the cap from the cylinder is selected by engaging a selected number of ridges on the cylinder to hold the cap thereon. The fishing line is attached to a fishing rod and the user of the rod applies pressure on the line with the casting device located behind the fisherman. When a pressure equal to the force by which the cap is held onto the cylinder is exerted by the fisherman. The cap is released and the weighted line is propelled into the air over the fisherman's head and into the body of water where fishing is to take place. The combination of the resiliency of the fishing rod, tension in the line and the static pressure built up against the cap operates to improve the distance over which the weight on the fishing line is cast.
