ABSTRACT:
A fishing rod is provided which consists of a foam handle, plastic cylinder, plastic coated heat tape, rechargeable battery pack, on/off toggle button, electronic regulator, reel holder, metal housed ceramic eyes, and tapered rod shaft. Within the foam handle is a plastic cylinder that houses the battery pack and fixtures for electrical contacts. A plastic butt cap screws onto the ends to seal the opening and secure the battery. Lining the interior of the handle is plastic coated heat tape which also lines the interior of the rod shaft. This tape conducts the heat and, along with the electronic regulator, enables the user to grasp a rod that is not too hot to handle. The rechargeable battery pack is removable and lasts from three to four hours, activated when the fisher pushes the toggle button to the "on" position between the handle and the shaft itself; the reel is fastened to this segment. Metal housed ceramic eyes line the length of the tapered rod shaft with the line strung through each of them. These eyes are evenly heated by the tape which lines the interior or exterior of the shaft. Because the heat is regulated, the line will not be damaged by excessive amounts of heat.
