ABSTRACT:
A fish stringing device which includes a spring loaded connector designed to simultaneously releaseably couple and sheath a rod used to string fish upon a cord. The spring loaded connector includes a rod receptacle inside a helical spring fixed within a tubular shaft housing. The helical spring is formed with a securing member projecting away and across a chord distance at one end of the helical spring. The securing member is slideably coupled to the rod receptacle by a slot diagonally formed in a wall of the rod receptacle. The rod has a groove formed about its circumference at a predetermined distance from a conical end of the rod. The groove releasably couples with the securing member to provide a quick connection by simply inserting and sheathing the conical end of the rod into rod receptacle. Quick disconnection and unsheathing of the rod requires pressing the spring loaded connector to compress the spring which in turn causes the securing member to disengage from the groove and retract along the slot.
