Abstract:

A casting apparatus for casting a flexible line such as fishing line. First and second elongate hollow tubes having open ends are disposed with the open end of one of the tubes extending telescopically into the open end of the other tube. An open container is disposed on the second hollow tube for holding the end of the flexible line therein. A spring member resides within the tubes and extends through telescopically overlapping sections of the tubes. A user inserts the end of a fishing line into the open container with a lure or bait attached to the end of the line, pulls the second tube backwardly against the spring member and releases the second tube, thereby permitting the spring member to thrust and second tube forwardly and launch the end of the line through the air.
