9 1 p= 1 This invention relates to improvements in devices for fishingjods.

for many people the task of performing the various types of fishing they enjoy, becomes very expensive due to the rising cost of each individual rod purchasedj to perform each individual type of fishing prefured.

for example.

one complete rod for.

beachfishing,boat fishing,trout and river fishing etc.

imagine the full cost for a complete rod that only performs,one specific type of fishing aplication,for each individual type required.

the cost and other such problems,as storeage and transport are overcome by the present inventioniwhich provides an interchangeable rod system by means of interchanging many types of rods into one buttmanufactured to suit multiple types of fishing rod aplications.

In one form of the invention a particular type of rod is inserted into the interchangeable rod system incorparated inside the tubular butt and being securely fastened by means of a front intermediate, and rear lockingsystem- I: v

~Le I $.z In another form iof the invention the lockingsystem fasteners comprise of, a rear screw in butt cap that incorparates a reduction socket system to recieve 7 the screw in prefured rod type.

The said rod type has attached at the butt end a threaded bushe to be securely ingaged inside the threaded buttcap.

5' The buttcap is then threaded into the tubular butt which carries the handgripmaterial and reelseat device.

The front part of the lockingsystem consists of a screw in ferra matched compatablyj and fixed over the buttend of the prefuredrod type,with the hole in the front •ferral die th ro being manufactured too a fine tolerence smaller than the diameter of the rod/ creating a secure forced fit when screwed into the front of the rodbutt which is Salso 3 manufactured to recieve a butt extension.
