Title: Line wind-up mechanism for marker buoys

Abstract: A device for quickly and easily retrieving the line of a fisherman's marker buoy by attaching the buoy therein and rotating it manually through gear multiplication at a high speed. The device comprises a rigid frame or housing for carrying a pair of rotary cups or spindles in axially aligned spaced relation. One of the cups is biased toward the other to yieldingly retain a marker buoy coaxially therebetween for rotation with the cups. The said other rotary cup is fixedly mounted on a pedestal for rotation, through intermeshed gears within the pedestal, a driving gear having a handle in radially outwardly displaced relation to a driven gear connected to the said other cup.
