A fish stringing device which includes a spring loaded connector designed to simultaneously releaseably couple and sheath a rod used to string fish upon a cord. The spring loaded connector includes a rod receptacle inside a helical spring fixed within a tubular shaft housing. The helical spring is formed with a securing member projecting away and across a chord distance at one end of the helical spring. The securing member is slideably coupled to the rod receptacle by a slot diagonally formed in a wall of the rod receptacle. The rod has a groove formed about its circumference at a predetermined distance from a conical end of the rod. The groove releasably couples with the securing member to provide a quick connection by simply inserting and sheathing the conical end of the rod into rod receptacle. Quick disconnection and unsheathing of the rod requires pressing the spring loaded connector to compress the spring which in turn causes the securing member to disengage from the groove and retract along the slot.

What I claim as my invention: 1. A fish stringer system comprising: a rod with two ends, wherein a groove is formed in said first rod end and extending around the circumference of said first rod end and a cord is fixed to said second rod end, and said cord capable of retaining the fish a rod receptacle formed in a first end of a shaft with a diagonal slot passage extending from said rod receptacle to an outer surface of said shaft and a spring seat support ridge extending away from and circumscribes an exterior surface of said shaft; a helical spring with two end regions, wherein said helical spring is flat at said first spring end region and a securing member extends perpendicularly away from said second spring end region; said helical spring is positioned around said shaft with said securing member extending across and through said diagonal slot passage into said rod receptacle and said first spring end region is in contact with said spring seat support ridge; a tubular shaft housing with two opposing open end regions; wherein a heightened ridge circumscribes and extends away from an exterior surface of said first tubular shaft housing open end region, an internal shoulder circumscribes and extends away from an interior surface of said first tubular shaft housing open end region, and a concave beveled interior surface circumscribes said second tubular shaft housing end region; said helical spring and shaft insert within said tubular shaft housing to form a spring loaded connector, said helical spring and shaft are positioned within said tubular shaft housing such that said rod receptacle extends through said second tubular shaft housing end region when said shaft is pushed to compress said spring; a retaining ring is inserted into said first tubular shaft housing opening end region to center and align said shaft within said tubular shaft housing; and said spring loaded connector simultaneously couples and sheathes said rod when said securing member engages said rod groove, and uncouples and exposes said rod when said securing member slides along said diagonal slot passage as said helical spring is compressed by movement of said shaft. 2. A fish stringing device comprising: a rod securely fixed to a cord for the purpose of threading and coupling fish to said cord, wherein said rod comprises a conical end region distal and opposite to a second end region securely fixed to said cord and a groove is formed around said rod at a predetermined distance from said conical end; a rod receptacle inside a helical spring fixed within a tubular shaft housing to form a spring loaded connector, said helical spring comprises a securing member projecting away and across a chord distance across one end of said helical spring and slideably coupled to said rod receptacle by a slot diagonally formed in a wall of said rod receptacle; said rod is securely coupled to said spring loaded connector when said conical end is sheathed within said rod receptacle and said groove, positioned within said rod receptacle, is engaged with said securing member; and said rod is uncoupled from said spring loaded connector when said helical spring is compressed to cause said securing member to disengage said groove and retract from said rod receptacle along said slot.
