Abstract
The invention relates to fishing accessories and it is used for balancing a fishing rod, fishing spinning, etc. The technical result is to improve the characteristics of the fishing rod by adjusting the position of the rod's center of gravity. The rod itself does not change. The device is convenient to install on the rod and remove from the rod. The device has the shape of a ring made from elastic material; there are weights inside the ring with a certain mass, depending on the mass of the rod. Weights can be arranged evenly along the circumference or in certain sectors.
Claims
1. A device for balancing a fishing rod, comprising weights and a ring made of an elastic polymer, the weights being arranged inside the ring.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0013] A device for balancing a fishing rod is explained by using the drawings in which:
[0014] FIG. 1 shows the device for balancing the fishing rod, namely its main view with a section;
[0015] FIG. 2 shows the device for balancing the fishing rod, namely its main top view with a section;
[0016] FIG. 3 shows the exemplary arrangement of the device for balancing the fishing rod on a handle.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0017] A device 1 for balancing a fishing rod is configured as a ring 2 made of an elastic material, for example, an elastic polymer, inside which weights 3 are arranged. The weights 3 made be made of metal and are insulated from environmental impact by the material of the ring 2 (see FIG. 1). The weights 3 may be arranged uniformly around the circumference of the ring 2 (see FIG. 2) or in sectors.
[0018] The device 1 for balancing the fishing rod operates as follows. At first, fishing tackle is assembled—a fishing rod, a reel, a fishing line, sinkers, etc. Then, the center of gravity of the assembled fishing tackle is determined. Further, depending on where the center of gravity is provided, the balancing device is put on a handle to balance the fishing rod (see FIG. 3). As is well known, the closer the center of gravity of the fishing rod is to a holding hand, the more convenient it is to hold the fishing rod and cast a rig. Therefore, if the center of gravity is closer to a tip, then it is reasonable to put the balancing device on a butt part of the fishing rod. If the center of gravity is behind the reel and closer to the butt part, it will be necessary to put on the balancing device in front of the reel. Further, shifting the device for balancing the fishing rod along the axis of the fishing rod, one can empirically select the optimal position and weight of the balancing device. When making any changes to the assembled fishing tackle, for example, changing a bait, changing a fishing method, one can promptly adjust the balance of the fishing rod in the same way by shifting the balancing device along the axis. The installation place of the balancing device on the fishing rod will depend on how much and in which direction it is required to shift the center of gravity of the fishing rod. This will satisfy the demands of each angler according to his/her individual preferences. Furthermore, by using such a device for balancing the fishing rod, it is possible for the angler to use a lightweight fishing rod made of modern materials without having to weigh it down with a big-mass reel and other heavy fishing tackle components; on the contrary, it is possible to equip the fishing tackle with a light reel, since balancing may be achieved using the balancing device.
