Claim 4:
5. A feeding mechanism for an interline fishing rod, the feeding mechanism comprising: a housing having a first end configured to couple to the rear end of an interline fishing rod, the first end having a first opening leading into a first tunnel, the first opening being positioned on the first end such that when the housing is coupled to a fishing rod, the opening aligns with the central axis of the rod body which aligns with the direction of the first tunnel; and a freely rotatable pulley, disposed within the housing, a wheel of the pulley having a V-shaped groove for guiding a fishing line running abouts its edge, the pulley wheel being constrained to rotate about a shaft within the housing such that the axis of rotation of the pulley wheel is orthogonal to the direction of the first tunnel; wherein the housing has a second opening formed on its exterior configured to receive a fishing line from a reel, with a second channel leading from the second opening in a direction away from the first end and towards an opposing second end of the housing and into a chamber containing the pulley; wherein the mechanism further comprises a locking and line feeding element configured to secure the first end of the housing to the rear of an interline fishing rod, the element having a cylindrical body with a first end and a second end and a central channel running through its length for feeding line from the first end of the housing to the fishing rod.
