ABSTRACT:
A device for holding a fishing rod and reel in a fishing mode and automatically raising the rod to set the fishhook in response to a fish pulling on the baited line. The device includes a lower support portion adapted to be anchored in the ground or in another fixed support, a body portion extending upwardly from the support portion, a rod carrying sleeve pivotally mounted on the body portion and movable between a forwardly inclined fishing position and a substantially upright disposition, a spring member for rapidly moving the sleeve from the fishing position to the substantially upright position, and a trip lever assembly for holding the sleeve in the fishing position against the force of the spring and releasing the sleeve in response to a pull on the line. The trip assembly includes a first lever about which a portion of the fishing line is disposed and a second lever which holds the sleeve in place. Pivotal movement of the first lever caused by a fish pulling on the line causes a pivotal movement of the second lever which releases the sleeve, allowing the spring member to snap the sleeve and rod to the upright position, setting the hook in the mouth of the fish.
