| 20150344646 | FISHING ROD WITH ENHANCED TACTILE RESPONSE - A method and structure for providing improved tactile response in fiber reinforced polymer composite materials is disclosed. The effect is achieved by jacketing the reinforcing carbon fiber with a thin coating of non-carbide forming metal, such as nickel. The resulting chemical and mechanical discontinuity at the fiber/coating interface allows for more transient energy to be retained within the fiber, while the strong chemical bond of the polymer matrix to the metal coating assures mechanical integrity of the composite. The result is a composite which retains its characteristic weight, stiffness, and strength, but exhibits increased low frequency vibrational sensitivity in composite applications, such as for fishing rods and other recreational equipment. | 12-03-2015 |

| 20130152449 | IN-LINE REEL AND ROD ASSEMBLY - An improved in-line reel and rod assembly has a reel body mounted to the end of a hollow rod blank with or without a handle mounted between them. The reel body is made up of a reel outer body and a reel inner body, which could be constructed as a unitary structure. The reel outer body holds the spool shaft, drag and drag knob. A spool is removable for quick access to the line and is over-sized for greater line capacity. A disc drag system provides detent micro-adjustment for the angler. The reel inner body is designed to guide the line from the reel spool into the rod blank and io to keep fishing line damage to a minimum when fighting a fish. A larger diameter spool is used to minimize line twist and holds more line. A spring bobber is integrated into the rod blank at its distal end. | 06-20-2013 |
