ABSTRACT:
A fish tape assembly includes a generally circular case, a fish tape and a winder. The fish tape has an inner end, an outer end and a main section. The inner end is fastened in the interior of the case to an anchor and an eyelet is formed at the outer end. A winder is slidable around the perimeter of the case. The toe of the winder is engageable with the fish tape to push it back into the case. A notch in the winder traps the eyelet to prevent the outer end of the tape from entering the case.
