Claim 0:
1. A pivoting fishing rod device comprising:
a fishing rod frame pivotally coupled to a base arm on a rotational joint;
the fishing rod frame comprising a rod arm and a support arm;
rotation of the fishing rod frame relative to the base arm provided on an axis of rotation defined by the rotational joint, the rod arm coupled to the support arm so that the rotation of the rod arm and the support arm is co-dependent;
a first resilient member coupled to a first attachment point mounted on the base arm and a second attachment point mounted on the support arm, the first resilient member configured to produce a tension counterbalance force as a distance between the first attachment point and the second attachment point increases;
a signal arm projecting from the rotational joint and maintaining a fixed angle relative to the base arm, the signal arm comprising a flag pole and a flag slidably mounted on the flag pole, the flag reversibly captured in a captured position at or near a proximal end of the signal arm, the flag biased towards a distal end of the signal arm by a second resilient member, the flag released from the captured position at a predetermined threshold angular position of the rod arm,
wherein the second resilient member is coupled to a third attachment point at or near a distal end of the signal arm and a fourth attachment point mounted on the flag, and
wherein the flag comprises a pole sleeve and a display portion extending from the pole sleeve, the pole sleeve slidably mounted on the flag pole.
