Abstract

A basic unit is capable of use by itself as a depth control device and has attachments capable of converting it to a side planer or to a side diver. The basic unit has an association of angled surfaces thereon and side fins which provides efficient operation with minimum wobble or drag on the fishing pole. A line stop can be used with the device to hold it in place on a line but to release the device when a fish takes the hook.
