Abstract
The fishing rod retrieving and salvaging device comprises a balloon, a CO2 cartridge, a valve, an activation sensor, a strobe, a recovery cable, and a housing. The fishing rod retrieving and salvaging device may be coupled to a protected item to prevent the protected item from becoming lost over water. As non-limiting examples, the protected item may be a fishing rod that may be dropped overboard from a boat. The fishing rod retrieving and salvaging device may inflate the balloon if the protected item is exposed to the water so that the protected item is prevented from sinking. In some embodiments, the fishing rod retrieving and salvaging device may attempt to send positional information to a smart phone to aid in locating the protected item.
