Abstract
A trolling apparatus for fishing which includes a large diameter reel mounted on a frame with a supply of line thereon which line extends to a pulley mounted on a boom connected to the frame and which may extend from the boat for fishing. The frame is mounted by a plate to a swivel base which permits the frame and boom to be swung about to desired positions without any locking or unlocking action, trolling positions being fixed by the relative motion of the boat with respect to the water and which permits the frame and boom to be locked in out-of-the-way positions when the unit is not in use, and with positive stops to prevent the base from rotation in excess of 180.degree.. The swivel base is fastened to the deck or transom of the boat and may be mounted on either side of the boat without modification.
