Automatic fish-hooking device

摘要

An automatic fish-hooking device including a base that is adjustably secured to a horizontal or vertical surface. A frame pivoted to the base supports a fishing rod between an integral forked end and a V-channel element extending from the frame. A quick release hook on the frame positively holds the fishing rod until it is released. A spring urges the frame away from the base and an adjustable latch holds the base and frame in a cocked position. When a fish takes the bait on the line the latch is disengaged and the spring snaps the frame to a released position to hook the fish.
