Fishing rod tip wich prevents wrapping of the fishing line around the tip and also improves casting performance

摘要

A tip to be placed on a fishing rod. Conventional fishing rods usually terminate in an "eye" or "roller" end on the fishing pole. A more proper term for the end attachment on a pole is a "terminal guide" rather than an "eye". They are made in several sizes to fit various size shapes on fishing poles, however, they follow the industry standard of 64ths of an inch, i.e. a number four is 4/64ths inch hollow. A key innovation of the present invention is that it is conical (tapered) on the outside so that if the line did wrap around the tip, all that is necessary to get the line to unwrap is to hold the tip downward so gravity will unwrap the line as it peels off. The inside is hollow and shaped to fit the distal end of a fishing pole. Additionally, they are much thinner in cross section than all existing Terminal Guides that have an "eye" at the end. It is this "eye" (and its braces) on the normal tip that acts as a holder of the wraps. One of the things that makes the present invention tip unique is that it eliminates the raised "eye" and/or rollers on normal poles that acts as bumps or snags to hold the fishing line as it wraps.
