Abstract
Abstract A tubular line is wound on a reel on a fishing rod with one end being free and passing outwardly of the reel. A pump is carried by the rod with the outlet of pump connected to the other end of the tubular line and inlet of pump receiving liquid. A lure connected to the free end of the line moves in water and a discharge opening is provided in the free end of the line discharging liquid outwardly of lure into the water. Scented bait in solution is supplied to the inlet of the pump, thus providing controlled remote baiting of a specific area of the water.
