Publication number: 20190014762Abstract: A fishing rod shaft having a line guide body, e.g., a rod tip body and/or a middle line guide body designed to minimize snag locations and that facilitate exiting of fishing line wound around the shaft by flicking the rod in a casting-type motion. The outer surface of the bodies define a line opening for receiving fishing line. The line opening communicates with a line passageway. The outer surface defines a continuous, smooth, uninterrupted surface from the attached end to the terminal end but for the line opening. The line opening and the line passageway preferably define the only path to an exit orifice and the line passageway between the line opening and the exit orifice is continuous and defines no openings. The described configuration eliminates snag locations for a fishing hook or for fishing line except for the openings of the line passageway.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2018Publication date: January 17, 2019Inventors: JOSHUA M. DENTON, SHAW FURUKAWA, JOE LU, WILLIAM DAVID ADDISON, JR.
