Abstract

Convenience fishing rod attachments enable a fisherman to leave multiple fishing rods unattended without concern that the rods may be pulled into the water by fish strikes, and subsequently lost or damaged. The attachments permit such unattended use of a fishing rod in a boat or on a bank or shore of a body of water. One of the attachments provides a system by which a hook is automatically set in the mouth tissue of a striking fish.
