Abstract: The present invention is directed to a motorized fishing device having a body which encloses an upper portion and a lower portion, the upper portion being water-tight and the lower portion having a plurality of sieve-like holes; means for moving the body through the water by jet force, the moving means including a motor within the upper portion of the body and an impeller within the lower portion of the body; means for directing movement of the body in the water; and means for detachably and pivotably mounting the body to a fishing line.The device can run and turn over the towed line without entanglement because of the ability of the detachment means to revolve. Tension applied to the line either intentionally by the user or by a fish that has struck the hook will release the line from the body.
