Automated Jigging System for Consistent Lure Presentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Jigging and trolling in fishing require precise and repetitive movements of the fishing rod to imitate live bait, which can be tiresome and inconsistent for fishermen, especially when targeting different species or changing presentations.
Innovation Solution
A jigging system comprising a rod holder, an input device, and a controller that records and replays sequences of rod movements, allowing for automatic and repetitive execution of predefined or random jigging patterns, including position, timing, direction, and speed, with optional integration of sensors for detecting fish strikes and wireless control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a fisherman manually performs jigging movements to imitate live bait, then the lure can move naturally in the water, but the fisherman experiences fatigue and inconsistency in movement precision
Solution Approach 1:
The system allows the rod holder to automatically perform jigging movements without continuous human intervention. The controller executes stored movement sequences autonomously, making the system serve itself by maintaining consistent lure motion patterns while the fisherman is freed from manual operation fatigue
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical system of the fisherman's arm and hand movements with an automated mechanical system consisting of a motorized rod holder, controller, and movement sequence存储器. This substitution eliminates human fatigue while maintaining precise and consistent lure movement patterns
2Adaptability or versatility
If a fisherman changes presentations frequently to target different fish species, then the system becomes more versatile, but the complexity of remembering and executing different techniques increases
Solution Approach 1:
The controller stores multiple jigging movement sequences in memory, creating digital copies of different fishing techniques. Each sequence can be recalled and executed automatically, allowing the system to adapt to different fish species without requiring the fisherman to manually remember and execute complex movement patterns
Solution Approach 2:
The rod holder system is designed to perform multiple functions by executing different stored sequences. A single device can implement various jigging techniques for different fish species, making the system universally applicable across multiple fishing scenarios without requiring separate equipment for each technique

AI summary
A system comprises a rod holder, an input device, a driving device, and a controller. The rod holder holds one or more fishing rods. The driving device is coupled to drive the rod holder. The controller controls the driving device to move the rod holder based on stored rod movement information, based on a random generated movement sequence, or based on real time user input. In operation, the input device receives rod movement information that indicates at least one characteristic of rod movement, including position, timing, direction, angle, or speed. During recording of a jigging sequence, the controller stores rod movement information as stored rod movement information. During replaying of a jigging sequence, the controller controls the rod holder based on the stored rod movement information. The sequence is repeated until the user stops the replaying. The system is optionally controlled to perform a random jigging sequence.
