ABSTRACT:
A device for supplying fishing line to a fish reeling device from a spool of bulk fishing line and measuring the length of line pulled from the spool by the reeling device. The bulk spool is supported for rotation about a horizontal axis at one end of a T-shaped supporting structure. The other crossed end of the structure carries a flat thin and relatively large diameter circumferentially grooved pulley supported for rotation about a horizontal axis parallel to the spool's axis of rotation. The crossed end also carries a mounting bracket for securing the location of the measuring device along and just off the edge of a flat table, convenient relative to the reeling device. The pulley is manually accessible around its entire periphery and has a shallow groove of semicircular cross section and an inner circumference of predetermined length at the bottom of the groove. A guide member having a line-encirclable manually line-threadable guide portion extends from the T-shaped structure between the spool and the pulley at the plane of the pulley for guiding line from the spool to tangentially enter the pulley groove which is manually accessible to enable line extending from the guide member to be manually wrapped once around the pulley in frictional contact in said groove with the line extending further to the reeling device to drive the pulley when the line is pulled during reeling. Line length is indicated by a counter registering pulley revolutions each of which equals one foot.
