A branch fishing rod assembly for creating a fishing rod out of a branch or stick includes a reel holder apparatus, a reel, and a plurality of eyelet apparatuses. The reel holder apparatus comprises a holder body and a pair of holder clamps coupled to the holder body to secure the holder body to a branch or a stick. The reel is selectively engageable within a reel opening of the holder body. The plurality of eyelet apparatuses each comprises an eyelet clamp to selectively engage the branch or the stick. An attachment arm is coupled to the eyelet clamp strap and an eyelet is coupled to the attachment arm. The reel is configured to secure a fishing line and the plurality of eyelet apparatuses is configured to receive the fishing line through each eyelet.

One object of the present invention is to provide a guide ring less prone to break due to an impact or wear. A fishing line guide according to one aspect of the present invention is to be used on a fishing rod and includes a guide body with a through hole formed therein and a guide ring fitted into the through hole of the guide body. The guide ring has a top portion that is most distant from the fishing rod in a vertical direction extending vertically with respect to an axial direction of the fishing rod, and the guide ring is configured such that a thickness of a guide rear portion on a rear side relative to the top portion is larger than that of a guide front portion on a front side relative to the top portion.
