The easy catch rod does all the work!

The combination of a spring loaded hinge and a balancing force provided by the indicator assembly enhances the efficiency of the fishing rod. The spring loaded hinge and the pivoting arm allow the fish to drag the bait downward.

Thos allows the fish to pull the fishing line freely for a distance of approximately 1 foot, and when the arm member reaches the end of its range of movement, then the fish's pulling on the line draws the line taut which is usually enough to set the hook in the fish's mouth. The reflector tilts upward in unison with the folding of the arm into a near vertical orientation to indicate the likelihood that a fish has been caught. For typical ice fishing, a fishing line rated at 50 lb strength has been found to be suitable. Notice: For deep sea fishing a line of 80 to 100lb test is recommended.

When the user is ready to pack up, he or she simply reels or winds the fishing line up and pushes down the arm member so that it folds against the mast. For even more compact storage, the indicator assembly can be removed. Advantageously, no tools are required for assembly or disassembly.
