Abstract:
1. A strike-setting assembly for use with a fishing rod, comprising: a fishing rod holder configured to hold the handle portion of said fishing rod in a manner providing resistance to an upward tension on said handle portion; a tether having a distal end and a proximal end, wherein said proximal end is securely fastened to said fishing rod holder; a trigger lever rotatably attached to said distal end of said tether and configured with a trigger lever hook adapted to engage a fishing line; and multiple magnets configured to slide on at least a distal portion of said tether, wherein said trigger lever is manually insertable into an eyelet of said fishing rod and is manually rotatable to be magnetically engaged with one or more of said multiple magnets wherein, upon manually inserting said trigger lever into said eyelet and rotating said trigger lever to magnetically engage with one or more of said multiple magnets, said tether is sufficiently short to cause said fishing rod to deform to an arched shape, and also wherein the strength of the magnetic engagement of said trigger lever with one or more of said multiple magnets is configured so as to allow the striking of a hook, on a line of said fishing rod, by a fish to disengage said trigger lever from said one or more of said multiple magnets, thereby allowing said fishing rod to be transformed from the deformed state to the native, relaxed state.
