Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a fishing pole holder and alarm system with increased visibility and durability. The system includes a base member, a tubular support extending from the base member, and a visual signal on the tubular support that is in communication with the tip down. The visual signal may be a tubular signal or a LED alarm. The system also includes a hands-free fishing system with a fishing pole support and strike alarm. The fishing pole support can store a fishing pole and the tip up can also have a visual alarm. The system includes a retrofit unit that can be attached to existing tip up devices and a remote control for the system. The invention also includes a fishhook retainer, a self-storage container, and a self-storage container with a transparent window for easy identification and observation of the contents."

Problems solved by technology

These devices have not addressed several of the other deficiencies in the art.
Most of these devices do not provide a visual signal that can be seen from long distances, at night or in inclimate weather.
Additionally, many of these devices include complex mechanisms, and require considerable effort to remove the rod from the holder upon the strike of a fish.
Many of the devices are not robust enough to meet the demands of the many climates in which people fish, particularly ice fish and do not allow for numerous tip downs to be used at the same time.
Furthermore, there is no known device that allows for a tip down support system to be wired to the rod supports on the tip downs as well as the alarm systems, while at the same time providing auxiliary wiring for incorporation of a tip up into the inventive system.

Embodiment Construction

[0056] The present invention and the various features and advantageous details thereof are explained more fully with reference to the non-limiting embodiments described in detail in the following description.

1. System Overview

[0057] The present invention relates to a fishing system with audio and visual signals capable of use with both tip ups and tip downs. The fishing system includes a tower like tubular support extending from a base member. The tubular support is configured to receive at least one tip down. The tubular support includes a tubular visual signal housed at a location on the support and an audio signal housed within the support. The tubular support includes a first wiring outlet configured for wiring a switch on the tip downs to the audio and visual signals and a second wiring outlet for wiring a switch on the tip ups to the audio and visual signals.

Abstract

A fishing system capable of use with a tip up includes a transparent housing fixedly mounted to the flag rod of a standard tip up. A plurality of LEDs is mounted to the surface of the fishing system. A lantern light is disposed inside the transparent housing. A wiring harness is operably coupled to the lantern light and LEDs and is in communication with a battery box that houses a battery and electronics for powering and operating the LEDs and lantern lights, and an audible alarm. The system is configured to illuminate upon the triggering of the tip up by a fish strike of the fishing rod. Alternative embodiments include a fishing hook retainer device fixedly mounted to the surface of the tip up and a transparent storage container for movement and storage of the system. Additionally, a remote control and accompanying sensors may be mounted to the surface of the system to perform a variety of functions.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims priority on Ser. No. 11 / 181,425 filed on Jul. 14, 2005, which is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates in general to the field of fishing. More specifically, the invention relates to a fishing rod support system that can be used with either tip downs or tip ups and having attached audio and visual signaling alarms to indicate a fish bite. [0004] 2. Discussion of the Related Art [0005] Fishing remains an extremely popular leisure activity during nearly every season of the year. From the opening day of the spring fishing season through the bleak winter ice fishing season, anglers can usually be found on some body of water throughout virtually any geographic region. Despite its overwhelming popularity, success in fishing often requires extreme levels of patience and vigilance. However, many fishermen do not like to constantl...
