ABSTRACT:
A fishing arrangement and technique are disclosed and include a relatively short fishing pole having a handgrip portion near one end thereof and a bifurcated tip near the other end. The bifurcated tip includes first and second cantilevered portions which diverge from one another and have corresponding first and second tip line guide eyelets near their respective free ends. A trigger actuable spring biased fishing reel fastened to the pole adjacent the handgrip portion provides pretorqued mechanical assistance in setting a hook in the mouth of a fish. A fishing line extends from the reel, through a series of line guide eyelets, through the first tip line guide eyelet and then through the second tip line guide eyelet, and ultimately terminates at a baited fishhook. The first cantilevered portion is significantly more flexible than the second cantilevered portion so as to function as an indicator by being deflected toward the second cantilevered portion in response to an increase in line tension. The first cantilevered portion may include a highly visible indicia near the free end thereof for aiding a user in observing deflection. Fish are caught in accordance with the invention by observing a manifestation of fishing line tension at the tip end of a fishing pole, such as the extent to which the two tips are drawn together, and, upon observing an increase in the line tension indicative of a fish having taken a baited hook into its mouth, a preset spring bias is triggered to further significantly increase the line tension and set the hook in the fish's mouth.
