ABSTRACT:
A floatation device is designed to be frictionally fitted around a fishing rod and will keep the rod from sinking in the event that it is dropped into the water. The device is of a cylindrical shape having a hollow central core and is formed of a dense polystyrene foam. A longitudinal slit along the axial length of the device allows a fishing rod to be positioned within the hollow central core, and the slit is angled so that once the device is attached to a rod, the rod will not accidentally become disengaged from the floatation member. The device further includes a fishing line clearance slot along its axial length, and the complete outer shell of the device is covered with a hard fluorescent plastic material.
