ABSTRACT:
The fishing aid mechanism for holding a fishing rod and automatically setting a hook in a fish includes base and arm members with a pivotal fastener or hinge therebetween. The rod holder is affixed to the arm member. A spring extends between the base and arm members. A releasable interlock has one mating portion on the arm and another mating portion on the base so that the arm and base are interlockable in one position under tension by the spring but release each other in response to relative movement therebetween caused by a force exerted by the rod on the rod holder. After release, the arm abruptly moves the rod holder and rod to another position to automatically set the hook in a fish.
