A spring loaded fishing pole assembly for increasing the casting distance of a fishing lure includes a handle that has a first socket therein. An extension rod releasably engaging the first socket and the extension rod has a second socket therein. A fishing pole is provided that has a plurality of coils formed therein to define a coiled section of the fishing pole. The fishing pole releasably engages the second socket. Moreover, the fishing pole is comprised of a resiliently bendable material thereby facilitating the coiled section to whip the fishing pole when the fishing pole is cast. In this way the fishing pole increases a casting distance of a lure.

In a fishing rod constituted by a rod and a grip which supports a base end side thereof, the grip having a front grip and a rear grip, there are provided a grip frame extending from a rear end part of the rear grip and a guide pipe into which the grip frame is movably inserted. A length of the grip varies in correspondence with a movement of the grip frame.

A fishing rod according to one embodiment of the invention includes a small-diameter hollow rod body extending in a central axis direction, a large-diameter hollow rod body extending in the central axis direction, and a spigot ferrule inserted in the small-diameter rod body from its rear end and into the large-diameter rod body from its front end to connect the small-diameter rod body and the large-diameter rod body. In the fishing rod, a first inclined surface that extends from an rear end of the small-diameter rod body at an angle of 0.1 to 10.0 with respect to the central axis direction is formed on an inner peripheral surface of the small-diameter rod body.

A coupling assembly to releasably couple two or more tubes together. The tubes can be assembled and disassembled with conventional hand tools. A line or cable can be routed through the tubes. The coupling assembly can prevent snagging of lines on the exterior of the tubes. The coupling assembly can flex with the tubes under load, and the line can be fed through the coupling assembly without snagging.

An indicator assembly attachable to a butt end of a fishing rod includes a cylinder on which two information carrying rings are rotatable to selected positions. Each ring carries a plurality of information about the fishing line on that fishing rod. Each ring is rotatable on the cylinder to bring selected information to an indicator supported at the cylinder. A fastening element holds the elements of the assembly together.
