  • Patent number: 7162828
    Abstract: An automatic fishing device is comprised of a fishing rod support for supporting a fishing rod. A spring loaded fishing line puller is movably attached to the support and arranged to engage a portion of the line along the fishing rod. An actuating arm hinged to a fixed position on the support is attached to a forward end of the fishing rod. A latch connected to the actuating arm is arranged to secure the puller in a cocked position under spring loading. When the fishing line is pulled by a fish, the forward end of the fishing rod is tilted down to tilt the actuating arm downward. The latch is moved by the actuating arm to disengage from the line puller, which is quickly moved by a spring away from the fishing rod to momentarily retract the fishing line and set the fish hook in the fish.
