Claim 9:
10. A pivoting fishing rod device comprising:
a fishing rod frame pivotally coupled to a base arm on a first rotational joint;
the fishing rod frame comprising a rod arm;
rotation of the rod arm relative to the base arm provided on an axis of rotation defined by the first rotational joint;
a reel rotationally coupled to the base arm on a second rotational joint;
a brake mounted to the base arm, the brake comprising an actuator handle, the actuator handle communicative with a first resilient member biasing the brake to engage the second rotational joint to maintain the reel in a brake position, the first resilient member biasing the actuator handle to maintain a first linear position;
an actuating surface of the actuator handle positioned to abut the rod arm at a first angular position of the rod arm corresponding to a first load applied to the rod arm, the first load less than a predetermined threshold load for relieving stress on the rod arm;
the rod arm at a second angular position corresponding to a second load applied to the rod arm, the second load greater than the predetermined threshold load for relieving stress on the rod arm, an interior angle of the rod arm with the base arm being greater at the first angular position than the second angular position;
the rod arm in the second angular position moving the actuator handle from the first linear position to a second linear position to disengage the brake from the second rotational joint to allow rotation of the reel in a release position.
