A fishing rod butt and reel seat assembly for use with a fishing reel and a rod blank. The fishing rod butt and reel seat assembly generally includes a cylindrical shaped rod having a first open end, a second open end, and a main length extending between the first and second open ends. The main length includes a handle section and a real seat section, wherein the handle section has a first outer diameter and the reel seat section has a second outer diameter, wherein the first outer diameter is greater than the second outer diameter thereby forming a shoulder at a transition between the handle section and reel seat section. The handle section includes a plurality of grooves longitudinally extending and equally spaced about a circumference of at least a portion of the handle section. The reel seat section includes retaining means for securing a fishing reel therein.

A fishing rod scabbard has a plurality of segments connected in an end-to-end manner to achieve a desired length from a wide variety of scabbard length possibilities. Each segment has a similar cross-sectional geometry and a bumper connector that enables end-to-end engagement between adjacent segments. A sleeved, tubular ramped passageway in longitudinal axial alignment with the tubular passageways of adjacent segments allows safe storage and transport of a fishing rod having a reel, bait, hook, and tackle on the pole. When not in use, the segments telescope together and nest within each other in a proximal end assembly between the proximal end and the distal end. Each bumper connector provides an assembly to secure adjacent segments together and to hold the segments in place when the scabbard is not in use.

A fishing rod handle fixing a reel having front and rear legs is provided. The fishing rod handle includes a front coupling portion coupled to a rod body, a rear coupling portion coupled to a rear grip, a reel fixing portion defined between the front and rear coupling portions and fixing the front leg, a pressing mechanism, and a reinforcing member. The front and rear legs are seated on a seating portion of the reel fixing portion, and the seating portion is spaced downward from an upper end of the front coupling portion and an upper end of the rear coupling portion. The pressing mechanism is coupled to the reel fixing portion above the seating portion, and presses the rear leg against the seating portion. The reinforcing member is embedded in the reel fixing portion below the seating portion, and resists bending deformation of the reel fixing portion.

An outrigger clamp to couple together two or more nestable tubes. The clamp includes a guide for retaining filament, and an attachment point for receiving accessories without interfering with the filament and guides. The guide and attachment point can rotate about an axis based on the forces applied to the outrigger to better align the filament and guides, and therefore align the forces applied to the outrigger and filament. The retainer can be, for example, one or more rollers that help prevent the filament from becoming creased or kinked during use.

According to an embodiment, there is provided a fishing line guide including a ring portion through which a fishing line passes and an attachment foot extending from the ring portion and attached to a fishing rod. The attachment foot may have stepped portions each formed on each of two side portions in a cross section of the attachment foot in a width direction of the attachment foot orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the attachment foot.

A fishing system for fishing in a center console or smaller fishing boat in the big or rough seas is provided. The fishing system may include a teaser rigger mounted to the fishing boat, wherein a teaser release line is received through at least two pulleys and operatively associating a teaser to a boom. The fishing system may separately or in combination include a leader saver connected to a fishing rod in the fishing boat. The fishing system may separately or in combination include a non-skid material of fighting chair frictionally engaging a flat surface provided in the fishing boat.
