Abstract
A fishing line assembly includes an elastic rope fixedly attached to a non-elastic rope such that a free end of the non-elastic rope extends beyond a free end of the elastic rope. A fishing line is coupled to the non-elastic rope at an end opposite its free end, wherein the free ends of the elastic rope and the non-elastic rope are attached to a rigid portion of a watercraft so that the elastic rope can take up tension in the fishing line as it trails the watercraft. Preferably, the non-elastic rope has a thickness such that it can be handled under tension without cutting one's hands.
