Abstract

See full text

A hollow tubular handle houses the proximal end of a fishing rod blank. A plurality of vibration disks are disposed about the proximal end of the rod blank and encircle the blank. Each disk is a substantially flat planar member having a centrally located aperture defined in it for centering the disk on the blank. Each disk may have a plurality of prong-like members extending outwardly from the central portion of the disk. The outermost portion of each prong-like member is urged and seats against the inner surface of the tubular handle. Use of such disks results in an effective transmission of the vibrations that propagate through the rod blank to the angler's hand. The use of a thin-walled tubular handle member serves as a resonating chamber to further amplify the transmitted vibrations and further increase sensitivity of the rod handle.
