Abstract
In some cases, the described reel coupler includes a rod coupler base that couples to a fishing rod, and a reel coupler base that couples to a fishing reel, and that selectively couples to the rod coupler base via a coupling mechanism. In some cases, the coupling mechanism includes a process on either the rod or the reel coupler base, and a corresponding recess in the other of the rod and the reel coupler base, with the process being configured to slidingly mate with the recess. In some cases, the reel coupler includes a lock that is configured to move between a locked position where a first portion of the lock blocks a portion of the process to prevent the process in the recess from sliding out of the recess, and a release position where the lock allows the process to slidingly decouple from the recess. Other implementations are described.
