Rod end piece for ground bait fishing - has longitudinal slot along curved portion with free guide rollers for over which line is threaded

摘要

The end piece of the rod is made from a plastics material and comprises a short straight length (1) with slits (3) for fitting over the fishing rod. The remainder (2) is curved and tapers slightly towards the free end. The external curved surface is slotted (4) to permit easy threading of the fishing line. Bridges (5) are provided at intervals along the end piece. In the bottom of the slot are fitted rollers (6), these being free-running to prevent the line chafing. The final roller, at the free end, is inset (11) into the surface. The end piece may also be made in two identical side halves.
