ABSTRACT:
A rod flotation device which is designed to locate a non-floating fishing rod, which rod flotation device is characterized by a shaped float provided with a centrally located neck having line wound thereon and one end of the line attached thereto, and a shaped bracket cooperating with the float and secured to the rod, with the opposite end of the line secured to the bracket. A water soluble pin and a plunger with a blade biased against the pin cooperate to retain one end of the float in the bracket, while the opposite end of the float is seated in a shaped ring retainer also attached to the bracket. When the pin softens due to the action of the water and is severed by the blade, the float is released from the bracket and floats to the surface as the line unwinds to provide a means for locating and retrieving the rod.
