ABSTRACT:
A trolling device for a fishing lure includes a frame to be towed through water. A spool on the frame has a length of fishing line for connection to a fishing lure. A drive means driven by the force of water as the frame is towed through water causes the line to wind upon the spool. The drive means is periodically disengaged to allow the spool to freewheel and the line to unwind. Thus, the lure will alternately accelerate toward the frame and drop back from the frame as the frame is towed through water. A selectively operable pause means is provided to delay retrieval of a lure toward the frame for a predetermined period of time, and further means are provided to disengage the drive means from the spool upon application of excessive force to the towing line.
