Claims11
A fishing line caster comprising an elongate handle, a side casting spool disposed about one end of the handle, and a casting guide connected to the handle and forming an upstanding skirt extending about at least a portion of the periphery of the spool and spaced radially therefrom, the casting guide being formed with line positioning means adapted to initially maintain the line extending in a predetermined orientation relative to the casting guide outwardly of the longitudinal axis of the handle and with a weighted end of the line disposed exteriorly of the skirt immediately prior to a line being cast from the fishing line caster, and said positioning means operating to release the line from the skirt upon casting to allow the line to pay out at least initially in a direction generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the handle between the spool and the skirt.
