Fishing Pole Anti-Wrap Line Guide

Abstract

A fishing pole is provided with a handle, a rod, and a closing segment. The rod has a base, a tip end, and a coil spring provided between the base and the tip end. The coil spring is configured to receive and guide a fishing line. The rod is supported by the handle at the base, and the coil spring has a proximal end winding and a distal end winding. The closing segment is provided on one of the proximal end winding and the distal end winding to close the one of the proximal end winding and the distal end winding to prevent wrapping of the fishing line about the coil.

1 . A fishing pole, comprising:
 a handle;   a rod having a base, a tip end, and a coil spring provided between the base and the tip end, the coil spring having a central bore aligned along the rod and extending between opposed open ends configured to receive and guide a fishing line through the bore, the rod supported by the handle at the base, the coil spring having a proximal end winding and a distal end winding, one of the proximal end winding and the distal end winding communicating as a continuous wireform structure to form an L-shaped bend with an adjacent portion of one of the base and the tip end, the continuous wireform structure having an outer mating surface along the L-shaped bend; and   an end winding closing segment having an L-shaped receiving surface configured to engage with the outer mating surface of the continuous wireform structure to retain the closing segment across one of the proximal end winding and the distal end winding to close the one of the proximal end winding and the distal end winding to prevent wrapping of the fishing line within windings of the coil.
