(under subclass 18.1) Fishing-rods having means for automatically expelling or feeding the fishing-line at the will of the operator, so that the line is dropped at the desired spot in the water.
(1) Note. Includes also automatic means which may not only cast the line, but may also draw it in after the fish has hooked itself--i.e., where there is no automatic hooking of the fish.
