Abstract
A fishing device for manually controlling a fishing line that utilizes the pulling force of a hooked fish to proportionally oppose that very same force without requiring an appreciable effort on the part of the user. A finger grip assembly is hingedly mounted to a line guiding assembly and the fishing line is passed between them. The fishing line is guided from one end to the other of the guiding assembly and passed through a passageway that diverts the pulling force to help sandwich the fishing line thereby frictionally opposing the pulling force of the hooked fish. Brake plates are mounted on the inner opposing walls to provide the frictionally opposing force indirectly.
