  • Removable fly rod flotation device
    Patent number: 5503579
    Abstract: A removable flotation device for use on a fly fishing rod and reel assembly to prevent the fly rod and reel from submerging when accidentally dropped or otherwise placed in water. The flotation device is comprised of a generally flexible material that provides a reliable buoyancy force and allows the flotation device, when attached, to mold about a handle and corresponding reel seat of the fly rod. When attached, the flotation device does not degrade the proper use and quality of the fly rod and reel during the act of fly fishing.
