A heated fishing rod that has a heating element disposed on the inside and outside of the rod that concentrates heating at the eyelets and at the distal end of the fishing rod.

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.

The fishing rod line threading device includes an elongate shaft with a diameter suitable for passing through the rod guides on a fishing pole, and a gripping member on one end for gripping a fishing line to retain the line while passing through the rod guides. The gripping member includes a space within which the fishing line is retained while the device is passed through the rod guides. Slight pressure is required to release the retained line from the space. Alternate embodiments of the gripping member are disclosed. One or more feed ramps may guide the line into the space, or the line may be inserted into the space and retained by a positionable sleeve.

A fishing rod that includes an elongated, tapered rod blank at least a portion of which is quadrilateral in cross section, the quadrilateral portion of the rod blank diminishing in cross-sectional area toward a tip end of the rod blank, the quadrilateral portion of the rod blank comprising a sandwich-structured composite of a core disposed between facings, the core less dense than the facings, the quadrilateral portion of rod blank less stiff in a casting direction than transverse to the casting direction; fishing line guides mounted at intervals along the length of the rod blank; a reel seat mounted at the base end of the rod blank; and a handle mounted at the base end of the rod blank adjacent to the reel seat.

A casting device, such as a fishing rod. The present casting device includes a rod, a spool disposed on the rod, a clamp disposed at the distal end of the rod, and a trigger operably connected to the clamp. The rod is configured to support a primary line having a secondary line extending therefrom. The secondary line further includes a stop configured to be gripped by the clamp. When the stop is gripped by the clamp, the primary line is tethered to the distal end of the rod via the secondary line. In one embodiment, the clamp includes a pair of clamp members connected by an articulated, pivotable connection. The casting device allows a user to precisely control the moment at which the primary line is cast because the primary line remains tethered to the rod until the clamp is opened.
