Abstract
A propelling device for propelling bait and lures featuring a tube, a bracket is disposed on the tube, and a mounting plate disposed on the bracket. The mounting plate and tube sandwich a fishing rod. A wing extends upwardly from the mounting plate to engage the reel seat base of a reel. A spring is disposed in an inner cavity of the tube. The spring can move between a relaxed position and a compressed position. A plunger extends out of the first end of the tube and is attached to an outer end of the spring. When the plunger is pulled backwardly away from the tube the spring moves to the compressed position and when the plunger is released the spring moves back to the relaxed position such that an object in front of the outer end of the spring is propelled out of the second end of the tube.
