ABSTRACT:
A water kite has a single elongated generally flat plate integrally connected to a float having generally pointed terminal ends. A pair of spaced apart eyelets are disposed on one side of the plate adjacent to the float for attaching slidably the water kite to a fishing line without removing the line. A rotating arm assembly having a base and arm is centrally disposed between the eyelets on the plate. In order to control the trolling relationship of the kite relative to the location of the fisherperson, the base is adapted with a set of equally spaced apart detents for retaining releasably the arm against rotation with respect to the base in a selected one of a plurality of discrete positions. A release mechanism is secured at the tip of the arm for securing releasably the fishing line to the water kite, in order to set the tension on the line and to allow the fishing line to be disengaged easily from the mechanism whenever a fish strikes the line or bait.
