Abstract
A magnetic tethering apparatus includes an end cap. The end cap includes an opening at a first end of the end cap, an outer wall extending from the first end to a second end of the end cap in a first direction, a first mounting surface at the second end of the end cap configured to engage with a second mounting surface, an inner wall extending from the second end of the end cap towards the opening in a second direction, and a base wall surface at the first end extending radially from the inner wall to the outer wall in a third direction transverse to the first direction.

A magnetic tethering apparatus comprising:
- an end cap including:
- a first opening at a first end of the end cap,
- an outer wall extending from the first end to a second end of the end cap in a first direction,
- a second opening at the second end of the end cap,
- a first mounting surface at the second end of the end cap adjacent to the second opening, the first mounting surface configured to engage with a second mounting surface,
- an inner wall extending from the second end of the end cap towards the first opening in a second direction, and
- a base wall surface facing the second opening extending radially from the inner wall to the outer wall in a third direction transverse to the first direction;
- a disc disposed within the second opening, the disc including:
- a first surface disposed against the base wall surface, and
- a second surface opposite the first surface;
- and
- an O-ring disposed within the second opening against the second surface of the disc.
A magnetic tethering system, comprising:
- an anchoring mechanism;
- an end cap configured to magnetically couple to the anchoring mechanism, the end cap including:
- a first opening at a first end of the end cap,
- a second opening at a second end of the end cap,
- an outer wall extending from the first end to the second end of the end cap in a first direction,
- a mounting surface at the second end of the end cap adjacent to the second opening, the mounting surface configured to engage with fishing equipment,
- an inner wall extending from the second end of the end cap towards the first opening in a second direction, and
- a base wall surface facing the second opening extending radially from the inner wall to the outer wall in a third direction transverse to the first direction;
- a disc disposed within the second opening, the disc including:
- a first surface coupled with the base wall surface, and
- a second surface opposite the first surface oriented to face the second opening;
- and
- an O-ring disposed within the second opening and oriented to engage with the second surface of the disc.
