Abstract: This invention relates to a hollow fishing rod assembly with an inventive mounting block that spaces a hollow rod apart from a fishing reel seat such that when the fishing reel is mounted to the seat the fishing line orifice of the reel is axially aligned with the core of the hollow fishing rod. The mounting bracket may be hinged so that the line opening of the fishing rod is moved above the fishing reel for easy access and threading of new or replacement fishing line through the rod.
Abstract: An improved in-line reel and rod assembly has a reel body mounted to the end of a hollow rod blank with or without a handle mounted between them. The reel body is made up of a reel outer body and a reel inner body, which could be constructed as a unitary structure. The reel outer body holds the spool shaft, drag and drag knob. A spool is removable for quick access to the line and is over-sized for greater line capacity. A disc drag system provides detent micro-adjustment for the angler. The reel inner body is designed to guide the line from the reel spool into the rod blank and io to keep fishing line damage to a minimum when fighting a fish. A larger diameter spool is used to minimize line twist and holds more line. A spring bobber is integrated into the rod blank at its distal end.
Abstract: A fishing pole is provided with a handle, a rod, and a closing segment. The rod has a base, a tip end, and a coil spring provided between the base and the tip end. The coil spring is configured to receive and guide a fishing line. The rod is supported by the handle at the base, and the coil spring has a proximal end winding and a distal end winding. The closing segment is provided on one of the proximal end winding and the distal end winding to close the one of the proximal end winding and the distal end winding to prevent wrapping of the fishing line about the coil.
Abstract: A fishing rod system comprising multiple composite tubes bonded to one another, wherein apertures, or “ports,” are molded between the tubes to improve the stiffness, strength, aerodynamics, comfort and appearance of the fishing rod.
