    Abstract: The current invention is an automatic fishing device for setting the hook upon fish strike. It embodies a weight, a weight support, an anchor for weight support, a fish line, two line guides, and a fish line coupler with a clip for connecting the weight to the fish line. The weight has a groove for engage the fish line, an opening for engage and disengage it to and from the weight support, and an anchor for the fish line coupler.

  • Publication number: 20060005453
    Abstract: An automatic fishing device for pulling the fishing line upon fish strike. It embodies a trigger member, a weight member, a trigger support, a fish line and a connector for attaching the weight member to the fishing line. The trigger member includes a weight support element and a fish line coupler. Parts of the weight support element can support the weight member but other parts of weight support element cannot support the weight member. The weight member can be connected to the fish line by the connector. The movement of fishing line caused by a fish strike rotates the trigger member to unload the initially supported weight member to drag the fishing line downward, effectively tightening the fishing line for setting the fish.
