Abstract
A fishing line loading device for loading new fishing line onto a fishing reel, such as casting and spinning reels. The loading device can be demountably coupled to fishing rods of different thicknesses and can be used to load new fishing line from supply spools of various circumferences onto a fishing reel. The loading device includes a frame and securing structure, either or both of which can employ a structural rib pattern. The securing structure secures a supply spool to the frame and applies functional drag resistance to the supply spool. The device also includes coupling structure which couples the frame to a fishing rod.
Claims20
A fishing line loading apparatus for loading new fishing line onto a fishing reel, comprising:
- a generally C-shaped frame comprising a base arm, wherein said base arm has a generally C shaped configuration;
- a support arm extending from said base arm;
- and a supply spool axle extending from said support arm, wherein said supply spool axle has a free end extending outwardly beyond a supply spool during use of said apparatus;
- securing structure, said securing structure attachable to said free end of said supply spool axle for securing the supply spool to said supply spool axle, whereby wherein said securing structure applies includes a flange to apply frictional drag resistance to the supply spool;
- and
- coupling structure, said coupling structure for coupling said base arm to a fishing rod;
- wherein at least one of said frame and said securing structure employs a structural rib pattern.
