An Adjustable Trolling Device, or dodger, consisting of a flat primary
body and configured to be removably attached at one or more points along
its edge to a primary fishing line, and at other points on its edge, at
least some of which may be substantially opposite to the point where it
is affixed to the primary fishing line, to trailing fishing bait, or
lures. The device has an attached mounting surface, rotatable through
360.degree., or a specified range, projecting one or more guiding fins,
substantially perpendicular to the rotatable mounting surface. The
mounting surface, by its nature, may be rotated to place the guiding fins
at alternate desired angles from the leading fishing line, so that
movement of the dodger through the water may produce a variety of
rotation or roll characteristics of the dodger and, correspondingly, the
trailing bait or lures.
