Abstract: An apparatus for casting a fishing line includes an elongated housing with an aperture axially extending therethrough. A fishing reel is attached to the housing adjacent a first end thereof. A telescopic guide is attached to the housing adjacent a second end thereof with each telescopic member receiving the fishing line when such guide is in its extended position. A bobber is coupled to the fishing line and engages the second end of the housing. A bobber launching mechanism includes a first chamber disposed within the aperture adjacent the first end of the hosing and includes a reciprocally mounted piston. A second chamber is disposed adjacent the second end and includes orifice and a seat engaging the orifice. The second chamber is in communication with the first chamber. The reciprocal movement of the piston generates air pressure within second chamber. A release mechanism is disposed intermediate the first and second chambers and is connected to the seat for selective opening and closing of such orifice.

Abstract: A combination hand tool includes an elongated member forming a handle which has a first and an axially opposed second end. A tool head is rigidly attached to the first end of the elongated member. A sleeve like member is rigidly attached to the second end of the elongated member and has a collapsible open end for retaining an accessory working element which is secured with a rotatatably disposed nut. A plurality of tabs is integrally formed on the outer surface of the elongated member for frictionally retaining a plurality of working elements. An aperture is provided for housing a measuring tape assembly. At least one bubble-type level is disposed within the elongated member for level measurements and a pair of surfaces are provided for establishing a reference plane for such level measurements.
