  • Patent number: 7360732
    Abstract: A fishing apparatus that allows an individual to catch fish, while at the same, not be encumbered with a traditional fishing rod and reel. The fishing apparatus includes a reel that has an indentation where a length of fishing line or monofilament is wound around. To one side of the reel is attached a centrally-mounted plastic grip, while an offset handle is attached to the other side of the reel. The fishing line, as it exits the reel, passes through a loop attached to a line guide which is mounted on the reel. A tensioner bolt, which is centrally mounted on the opposite side as that of the centrally-mounted grip, passes through the reel and provides tension against the fishing apparatus, thereby giving a more authentic feel to the fishing apparatus in comparison to a standard fishing rod and reel.
