A pivoting fishing rod device including: a fishing rod frame pivotally coupled to a base arm on a rotational joint; the fishing rod frame comprising a rod arm and a support arm; rotation of the fishing rod frame relative to the base arm provided on an axis of rotation defined by the rotational joint, the rod arm coupled to the support arm so that the rotation of the rod arm and the support arm is co-dependent; a first resilient member coupled to a first attachment point mounted on the base arm and a second attachment point mounted on the support arm, the first resilient member configured to produce a tension counterbalance force as a distance between the first attachment point and the second attachment point increases. The first resilient member can apply the counterbalance force to the support arm providing a support vector to counterbalance a first load vector of a first load applied to the rod arm, the first load comprising a fishing line and hook hanging from the rod arm, the first load vector in a direction of the vector of gravity, the counterbalance force biasing the rod arm in a first range of angular position upon applying the first load and the counterbalance force allowing rotational motion of the rod arm in a second range of angular position upon applying a second load, the second load comprising a fish strike on the fishing line and hook.

A hook setting device which is controlled by a trigger sprung and activated by a tension string while unaffecting the fishing line. The device has an adjustable trigger and includes a trigger body with a nose to engage the rod eyelet, a tension string, a way to movably fasten the tension string at one end into multiple positions which in turn establishes the release force to set the hook, and a way to fasten the tension string to a fixed point. Thus the fishing pole with its rod eyelet attached to the nose of the trigger and its handle fixed in a rod holder, is bent into an arched position. When a fish pulls on the hook on the line, the nose dislodges from the rod eyelet of the arched rod and creates a spring force that immediately sets the hook into a mouth of the fish.

A fishing rod holder for holding a conventional fishing poles include rigid hoops to include a conventional fishing pole handle therein. The invention includes a trigger and trigger setting mechanism using a tension setting mechanism, actuating arm, trigger, and spring to set the fishing rod holder at a desired sensitivity. The fishing rod holder uses spring recoil energy to snap the fishing rod holder to quickly return to the resting position to hook a fish.
