Abstract
A rod and reel assembly for deep water fishing. The rod employs a structure that eliminates the need for line guides along the length of the structure by use of a swivel guide that maintains the line between two rod members. The swivel roller is placed at the distal end of the structure allowing fishing line deployed from a mounted reel to the swivel roller to pass unobstructed through the structure. Also disclosed is an electric reel that includes a cantilever spool having an enlarged interior allowing hand control of free spooling. A two stage drag system employs a first set of springs to allow hands free spooling with minimal drag and a second set of springs for proper setting for the fish hauling.
Claims20
A fishing pole comprising:
- a rod assembly having similar shaped first and second rod members, said first and said second rod members being spaced apart and substantially parallel to each other, said first and said second rod members each having a proximal end and a distal end;
- said rod assembly having a base coupled to said proximal end of each of said first and said second rod members, said base being constructed and arranged for receipt of a fishing reel having a deployable fishing line;
- a swivel guide securable to each of said first and said second rod member distal ends, said swivel guide having at least one fishing line roller positioned therebetween for positioning of a fishing line deployed from the fishing reel around a portion of said roller into a downward direction;
- and
- said swivel guide being the sole fishing line guide on said rod assembly;
- wherein a fishing line deployed between the fishing reel and the fishing line roller can move uninhibited through the rod members throughout the bending and twisting of said rod members caused by fish movement.
