A fishing accessory for preventing the tangling of a fishing line on a fishing pole comprising a base attachable to the fishing pole and an adjustable guide member. The adjustable guide member is movable from a first position wherein a portion of the guide member contacts a guide surface of the base to a position wherein the portion of the guide member is positioned distant from the guide surface. The fishing accessory includes an adjustment member extending from the guide member engaged with an opening in the base wherein moving the adjustment member in one direction moves the guide member away from the guide surface and moving the adjustment member in the opposite direction moves the guide member closer to the guide surface. The position of the guide member is adjustable toward and away from the guide surface to accommodate a specific diameter fishing line.

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.

A fishing line guide guiding a fishing line is attached to a rod body of a fishing rod. The fishing line guide includes a ring holding portion and a first support leg portion extending from the ring holding portion. The ring holding portion includes an inner peripheral portion, an outer peripheral portion, and an annular portion extending in a circumferential direction between the inner and outer peripheral portions. The ring holding portion is coupled to a guide ring at the inner peripheral portion. The first support leg portion has a pair of lateral surfaces connecting with the outer peripheral portion. The ring holding portion includes a pair of twisted portions which form a portion of the outer peripheral portion and a portion of the annular portion and are twisted respectively from the annular portion toward the lateral surfaces of the first support leg portion to the outer peripheral 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.
