Fishing casting apparatus having a pressure operated launch mechanism

摘要

An apparatus for casting a fishing line includes an elongated housing with an aperture axially extending therethrough. A fishing reel is attached to the housing adjacent a first end thereof. A telescopic guide is attached to the housing adjacent a second end thereof with each telescopic member receiving the fishing line when such guide is in its extended position. A bobber is coupled to the fishing line and engages the second end of the housing. A bobber launching mechanism includes a first chamber disposed within the aperture adjacent the first end of the hosing and includes a reciprocally mounted piston. A second chamber is disposed adjacent the second end and includes orifice and a seat engaging the orifice. The second chamber is in communication with the first chamber. The reciprocal movement of the piston generates air pressure within second chamber. A release mechanism is disposed intermediate the first and second chambers and is connected to the seat for selective opening and closing of such orifice. Opening of the orifice applies air pressure to the bobber which is launched for engagement with the body of water.
