This invention provides an outrigger assembly for fishing that can be quickly deployed from a portable bag about 1 meter long into a fully rigged outrigger in a selected length of 4 meters, 5 meters or 6 meters. Variable length is obtained by adding sections of telescoping pole. Quick deployment is obtained by using detachable line guides that are radially (or side) threadable in conjunction with a separate preassembled outrigger line loop for each deployed length. Different length outrigger line loop assemblies are color coded for quick identification. Stowed length and volume of the collapsed telescoping pole is minimized by the use of outrigger line guides that are removable from the outrigger pole. Threading and unthreading of an outrigger line loop without opening the loop is enabled by the radially threadable line guides. The invention also provides an outrigger holder having two sockets, one for the outrigger and one for a fishing pole.

A waist wearable fishing kit enabling impromptu fishing includes a strap and a fishing rod. A first and a second coupler, which are complementary, are coupled to a first and a second end of the strap, respectively. The strap is configured to loopedly position around a waist of a user, positioning the second coupler to couple to the first coupler. A pouch, which is water-impermeable, is coupled to the strap. An aperture that is positioned in a top of the pouch is configured to allow access to the pouch. A closure that is coupled to the pouch proximate to the aperture is positioned to selectively sealably close the aperture. A reel fitted with a line is coupled to the fishing rod, which comprises a plurality of sections that are selectively interconnectable so that the fishing rod is collapsible to stow in the pouch, positioning the user for impromptu fishing.

A hiking fishing pole is configured to be used for outdoor activities. The hiking fishing pole has a head arranged against a threaded rod and inserted into a first end of a handle. A top tube is arranged inside the handle and connected to a top tube connector with at least one line ring. A middle tube is connected inside the top tube connector with a cam lever. A bottom connector is joined to the middle tube and a bottom tube with a second cam lever and at least one line ring. A basket is joined to the bottom connector and further comprising a line opening.

A fishing rod includes a hollow rod extending along a central axis; and a shaft member with an outer peripheral surface inclined relative to the central axis inserted into the rod from the one end, and that is supported by an inner peripheral surface of the rod at a support position on another end side of the one end in an axial direction along the central axis, wherein the inner peripheral surface of the rod has at least one convex portion protruding toward the central axis from a virtual curve between the support position and the one end position axially when drawing a virtual curve that is convex toward the central axis through the support position and the one end position at the end of the end side of the inner peripheral surface in an area radially outward from the outer peripheral surface of the shaft member.

An outrigger clamp to couple together two or more nestable tubes. The clamp can include a guide for retaining filament. The guide 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.

A rotatable fishing rod handle device with adjustable bending and straightening includes a handle body, a wheel seat and a connecting rod, wherein a front end portion of the handle body is provided with a mounting hole inwardly. A rear end portion of the wheel seat is provided with a coupling shaft. The coupling shaft is located and rotatable in the mounting hole. A shaft body of the coupling shaft is provided with a groove, in which a latch protrusion and a spring are disposed. An end of the latch protrusion protrudes outward to a notch of the groove and the latch protrusion is elastically disposed in the groove through the spring. A first position limiting hole is formed at a position corresponding to the groove on the coupling shaft on a side wall of the handle body.
