Patent ID: 7490431

Claim:
A method for launching bait attached to a fishing line of a fishing pole in space limited area, said method comprising the steps of: a. providing a base assembly linearly adjustable along a first axis; b. pivotally coupling a platform to a top end of said base assembly by articulating said platform about a fulcrum axis registered orthogonal to said first axis; c. directly connecting a plurality of arms to said platform by extending said arms upwardly therefrom; d. anchoring opposed ends of a sling to said arms in such a manner that said sling is resiliently adapted between stretched and equilibrium positions when pulled rearwardly from said arms and along a path registered substantially orthogonal to said first axis; e. pivotally coupling a mounting clamp directly to said base assembly by articulating said mounting clamp about a second axis registered orthogonal to said first axis; f. attaching said mounting clamp to a support surface; g. positioning the fishing rod alongside said sling; h. pointing said sling to a desired direction; i. placing a baited hook in said sling; j. pulling said sling rearwardly away from an interior side of said platform until a desired tension in said sling is achieved; and k. releasing said sling to launch the baited hook.
