Abstract
A fish line guide device formed by a plurality of removably engageable guide members forming a serpentine fish line path. The guide members can be engaged to a surface of a basket worn by an angler or to the surface on which the angler is standing such as a boat deck. Engagement is accomplished by base mounts which engage with the base end of the guide members and hold the guide member substantially perpendicular from the surface. A sandwiched engagement of the guide member and base mount or a suctional engagement of the base mount to a surface, or a tongue and groove style engagement provides the projecting mount of the guide members to the surface. The guide members may also be engaged to a flexible surface layer which is then supported upon a support surface adjacent to an angler.

A user configurable guide apparatus for stripped fishing line comprising:
- a plurality of elongated guide members having a distal end and a base end;
- a plurality of base mounts adapted for an engagement with said base end of said guide members;
- said respective base mounts in said engagement with said respective base ends, thereby providing means to engage each of said plurality of guide members to a projecting mount from a mounting surface, and forming gaps between said plurality of guide members;
- and
- said gaps providing a serpentine path adapted to receive said fishing line therein and preventing tangles in said fishing line.
