ABSTRACT:
A fishing rod assembly which includes a flexible, hollow fishing rod attached to one end of a reel mount which is shaped to receive a reel pod, and a handle attached to the opposite end of the reel mount for handling the fishing rod. The reel pod is further characterized by a shaped housing having a pair of removable end caps and containing an electric motor provided with a drive bevel gear in engagement with the bevel gear of a cooperating spool containing a supply of fishing line. The fishing line is wound on the spool and extends through apertures in the front end cap and the reel mount, and then through the hollow interior of the fishing rod to exit the end of the rod for tying to a lure. An optional reel handle is provided for engagement with the spool, and the fishing line can be wound on the spool in conventional fashion to retrieve the lure. Electrical connections and a source of electricity are provided for driving the electric motor responsive to manipulation of a switch provided on the handle of the fishing rod assembly, whereby the fishing line can be played out by casting or simply unwinding from the spool, and can then be retrieved by manipulating the switch to an appropriate position.
