Claims17
A fishing system, comprising:
- a container having a cavity sized to pass a jig line therethrough and to store the jig line;
- a plurality of fasteners for releasably connecting the container to a fishing rod, and a fastener of said plurality of fasteners configured to secure an end of the jig line to an exterior of the container;
- a flute attached to an end of the container and having a smooth and continuous internal surface, the flute configured to promote free motion of the jig line and inhibit hooks attached to the jig line from catching on an internal surface of the container via the smooth and continuous internal surface;
- and
- the flute having a first internal surface bounding the cavity and the container having a second internal surface bounding the cavity, said first surface and said second surface projecting inwardly at said interface point such that said first surface and said second surface form a smooth and continuous internal surface at said interface point.

A method for use in fishing comprising:
- receiving a jig line in a cavity of a storage body;
- releasably securing each end of the jig line to opposite ends of the storage body to hold hooks attached to the jig line in the cavity;
- releasing a first end of the jig line from a first end of the ends of the storage body:
- attaching the first end of the jig line to a fishing line attached to a fishing rod, attaching a flute to a second end of the ends of the storage body, and attaching a weight a maximum cross-sectional area larger than an opening of the flute to a second end of the jug line such that the weight avoids entering the container.

A fishing system, comprising:
- a container having a cavity receiving a jig line therein;
- the container releasably connected to a fishing rod having a reel;
- a first end of the container connected to a first end of the fishing rod and a first end of the jig line extending from the first end of the container to connect to a fishing line connected to the reel of the fishing rod;
- a second end of the container connected to a second end of the fishing rod and having a second opening to allow a second end of the jig line to be cast from the second end of the container by a user and to allow the jig line to be reeled in by the user into the cavity.
