Abstract: An Adjustable Trolling Device, or dodger, consisting of a flat primary body and configured to be removably attached at one or more points along its edge to a primary fishing line, and at other points on its edge, at least some of which may be substantially opposite to the point where it is affixed to the primary fishing line, to trailing fishing bait, or lures. The device has an attached mounting surface, rotatable through 360°, or a specified range, projecting one or more guiding fins, substantially perpendicular to the rotatable mounting surface. The mounting surface, by its nature, may be rotated to place the guiding fins at alternate desired angles from the leading fishing line, so that movement of the dodger through the water may produce a variety of rotation or roll characteristics of the dodger and, correspondingly, the trailing bait or lures.

Abstract: A fishing rod holder assembly includes a channel, a bracket, a hub and a rod holder. The channel may be mounted on the boat at any angle desired, from horizontal to vertical. The bracket is configured to be slidably inserted within the channel in any of four orientations. The hub, which is rotatably mounted on the bracket, defines a plurality of apertures. A pin is positioned on the bracket. A spring biases the hub against the bracket to a positive, locked position with the pin in one of the apertures. Separate tile pieces, configured to be slidably inserted within the channel, space rod holders on the channel.

Abstract: A device for attaching a plurality of leaders to a single fishing line is disclosed. The device comprises a hollow, elongate, generally cylindrical body having axially opposed ends proximately and distally located with respect to the fishing line. An abutment is formed in the proximal end of the body. An axially displaceable clamping member is disposed within the body and a guide slot is formed in the proximal end of the body for guiding a fishing line between the abutment and the clamping member. The clamping member is spring biased toward the abutment into secure clamping engagement with a fishing line disposed therebetween. A stem disposed on the clamping member extends through the distal end of the body and includes means for securing a leader to the clamping member.
