ABSTRACT:
A fishing device or apparatus wherein a plurality of flat vertical objects resembling fish are arranged in a horizontal row along a horizontal support. Each fish is provided with a mouth and a slot which connects with a circular opening below the mouth. For the purpose of catching the fish, the would-be fisherman, or player, will utilize a casting rod with a winding reel. The end of the line which connects with the fishing rod and the reel, however, will be provided with a plug which cooperates with the circular opening below the mouth of the fish. The plug is made of resilient material, such as rubber or plastic, and is provided with a nose piece adjacent the connection of the line to the plug. This nose piece is tapered from a diameter of smaller size than the circular opening in the fish to a diameter slightly larger than the diameter in the opening. Immediately beyond the larger diameter of the nose piece, the plug is provided with a recess so that when the plug is pulled into the opening, the nose piece will squeeze through the opening until the sides of the opening are lodged in the recess. Further pulling on the line will pull the fish off the horizontal support and the fish is now "caught".
