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. Top and bottom central radial rudder plates extend axially along the body between the two wing members. The body includes flotation at a forward section thereof. Line receivers are mounted near forward and rearward body ends, to slidably receive the fish line therethrough and define an axial "way" along the top side of the body. A line grip, on the bottom side of the body releasably secures a point along the fish line extending forwardly of the forward line receiver. The line extends forwardly from the grip to the fish pole and rearwardly from the grip through the way, 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 fish line can be released by a sudden tug, as when a fish bites. The rudder aligns with the fish line, allowing the fish to be played without the rudder device offering significant resistance.
