ABSTRACT:
An improved device for holding the tip of a resilient fishing rod in a bowed position when the fishing line is baited and for releasing the tip for sudden snap movement upwardly when a force is exerted on the fishing line by a fish. The device is provided with a trip means having an adjustable member for setting the force required for initiating the snap movement. The adjustable member is arranged for infinitely variable displacement along the outer fish rod end, and in the bowed position, the adjustable member coacts with a hook member attached to one end of a line, with the other end of the line being attached to the fishing rod at a position remote from the tip. For obtaining the desired bowed position or bending of the fishing rod tip, the hook member is releasably attached to a support member on the tip. The adjustable member is arranged between the extreme end of the rod and the support member. The adjustable member for setting the force required for releasing the tip for snap movement provides a useful means for adjusting the force in relation to the weight of the bait. An adjustment can be carried out even when the line is baited and fishing is carried out.
