043190200 | With nonreeling motion means for rod and line, or line | 6 |
20080196292 | Tremor - An elongated device with a self-contained vibration generating mechanism including a battery driven motor and eccentric weight and means to vary the vibration that can be easily attached to an ordinary fishing rod having a reel and line mounted thereon to cause the fishing rod shaft to vibrate in a manner to cause a bait or lure attached to the line to vibrate in a selective manner to attract fish, without passing the fishing line through the device. The device is firmly detachably attached to a fishing rod shaft by the combination of an extension of the device having a curvilinear cavity defined by a wall adapted to frictionally engage the top of a fishing rod shaft co-acting with a pair of straps wrappable around the device and secured by a hook and loop fastening system | 08-21-2008 |
20100122487 | Holder capable of holding and allowing a jig pole to move - A holder is disclosed which is capable of holding and allowing a jig pole to move. The holder includes a first member having an attachment mechanism rotatably secured to a first end and a holding member rotatably secured to a second end. The holding member also has a pair of spaced apart, upright legs each having a terminal end with a notch formed therein. The holder also includes a second member which has a shaft joined to a collar. The shaft is sized to fit within each of the notches and the collar is of sufficient size to encircle the handle of the jig pole. The holder further includes an adjustable member capable of securing the collar to the handle, forward of the fishing reel, such that the weight of the fishing reel retains the jigging pole at an acute angle relative to a body of water. | 05-20-2010 |
20100275500 | Attachable and detachable vibration generating device for a fishing rod - An elongated vibration generating device with a self contained vibration generating mechanism having its own power source including a battery driven motor, and eccentric weight and means to vary the vibration that can be easily attached to an ordinary fishing rod having a reel and line mounted thereon to cause the fishing rod shaft to vibrate in a manner to cause a bait or lure attached to the line to vibrate in a selective manner to attract fish. The device is firmly detachably attached to a fishing rod shaft by the co-acting combination of: (1) a soft and resilient extension depending from one end of the device and having a curvilinear cavity defined by a wall adapted to frictionally engage the top of a fishing rod shaft, and a first strap which is fixably attached at one end to the device above the extension wrapped around the fishing rod and the extension, with the other end of the strap adjustably secured to the fixed end of the strap by a hook and loop fastening system; (2) a pair of spaced metal or hard plastic vibration-transmitting nubs depending from the device at the opposite end from the extension, adjacent the vibration generating mechanism, for self-aligning mounting on the rod, and a second strap fixably attached at one end to the device above the spaced projections, with the other end of the strap wrapped around the fishing rod and adjustably secured to the device by a hook and loop fastening system, to provide for rapid and firm attachment of the device to a fishing rod of one cross-sectional dimension in a good and secure vibration transmission contact and rapid detachment from the rod and quick and firm attachment to another rod, of the same or different cross-sectional dimension from the first rod. | 11-04-2010 |
20110107652 | Ice Fishing Apparatus - An ice fishing apparatus features a support stand engaging and projecting upward from a frozen surface of a body of water and projecting laterally outward at a distance above the frozen surface. A flexible strip has a fixed end coupled to the stand and extends past a distal end laterally outward from the upright portion of the stand engaged in the ice. A wind flap is coupled to the flexible strip at a position therealong between the distal end of the stand and a free end of the flexible strip. A reel support is provided on the support stand and a clip near the free end of the strip is used for gripping fishing line from the reel to move the hook end of the line with the strip under action of moving air on the wind flap. | 05-12-2011 |
20110232155 | JIGGING APPARATUS FOR A PAIR OF FISHING RODS - The present invention relates to a fishing rod assembly including a pair of fishing rods each having a fishing line connected thereto, and a jigging apparatus. The jigging apparatus has a v-shaped spreader bar with a first connection point and a second connection which are both upper in use and configured to operatively connect with respective ones of the fishing lines. An L-shaped elongate member pivotally connects to the spreader bar via a third connection point. The elongate member has a weight-connecting portion extending downwards, when in use, relative to the first connection point and the second connecting point, and a hook-connecting portion extending laterally outwards, when in use, relative to the weight-connecting portion. A weight operatively connects to the weight-connecting portion of the elongate member. A hook operatively connects to the hook-connecting portion of the elongate member. | 09-29-2011 |
20120102813 | JIG-RITE - One example embodiment includes a system for automatically jigging a lure. The system includes a fishing pole. The fishing pole includes a tip and fishing line, where the fishing line passes through the tip. The system also includes a motor, where the motor is configured to move the tip of the fishing pole. | 05-03-2012 |
