Telescoping Fishing Rod Assembly

摘要

This invention relates to a hollow telescoping fishing rod assembly with an inventive mounting block on the handle that aligns a hollow rod with a fishing reel so that the fishing line port of the reel is axially aligned with the opening in the proximal end of the hollow fishing rod. In some embodiments, the mounting block has a hinging mechanism to provide access to the end of the rod. The rod is segmented and provided with internal ferrules that reduce wear on the fishing line.

主权项

1. A fishing rod assembly for use with a fishing reel, the fishing rod assembly comprising:
a fishing rod, said rod comprising a plurality of hollow segments provided in linear alignment, wherein each segment has a different diameter such that each segment can be fitted into an adjacent segment, each segment having an open first end and a spaced apart open second end, an annular ferrule fastened to the inner surface of the first end of each segment and a stopping collar attached to the outer surface of the second end of each segment; a handle comprising a grip and a a reel seat bracket for receiving the fishing reel; a rod bracket having a handle mount and a rod mount, the handle mount connected to the rod mount by at least one support member; wherein the handle mount is attached to the handle and the rod mount is attached to a proximal end of the rod; wherein the rod bracket offsets the fishing rod from the handle so that the proximal end of the fishing rod is in axial alignment with the fishing reel.
