ABSTRACT:
A fish line rudder facilitates carrying a fish line in current to either or both sides of a boat, or guiding the fish line laterally to current flow within a stream. The rudder includes an elongated body with opposed arcuate wing members. A central radial rudder plate extends axially along the body between the two wing members. The body includes an open central longitudinal bore that is slightly inclined upwardly from the front bore end toward the rear, to slidably receive the fish line therethrough. A line grip, on the rudder plate releasably secures a point along the fish line extending forwardly of the bore. The line extends forwardly from the grip to the fish pole and rearwardly through the body from the open front end and line grip, to a hook. When in the water, the device will react to resistance offered by the fish line, to move the fish line laterally across current, to locate the fish line according to the fisherman's desire. The fish line can be manipulated to cause the device to shift positions and move back and forth as desired in the current. The gripped section of the fist line can be released by a sudden tug, as when a fish bites. The rudder then rolls over and aligns with the fish line, allowing the fish to be played without the rudder offering significant resistance.
