ABSTRACT:
A device for supporting a fishing rod and for providing a periodic lifting motion to the rod to effect jigging comprising, of a box-like housing in a generally rectangular configuration with a lower bottom wall, with front, rear and side edges, upstanding rectangular front and rear walls parallel with each other and extending upwardly from the front and rear edges of the bottom wall and with rectangular side walls parallel with each other and extending upwardly from the side edges of the bottom wall and coupled at their vertical side edges to the vertical edges of the front and rear walls and a rectangular top wall removably coupled at its periphery to the upper edges of the front, rear and side walls. Screws to removable couple the top wall from the upper edges of the front, rear and side walls. A fishing rod holder secured to one side wall of the housing above the central plane thereof and adjacent to the back wall, the holder having a lower planar surface in an angular orientation with respect to the top and bottom walls for supporting a central extent of a fishing rod at an angle with its lower most end on the ground, the holder also having a vertically extending wall located outwardly from the supporting side wall of the housings. A motor mounted within the housing with a battery for providing a source of potential to drive the motor, a power switch located within the housing with a toggle extending exteriorly of the housing through the adjacent side wall thereof opposite from the holder, the toggle movable between an on position wherein power is provided to the motor and an off position where power to the motor is stopped. A speed switch mounted in the side wall of the housing with the switch. Electrical wires coupling the motor, battery and switch. A drive rod extending vertically from the motor through the side wall supporting the holder, the drive rod having an L-shaped member with a long vertical leg coupled at a first interior end to the rod of the motor and with a second exterior end extending horizontally at a right angle from the first end, the L-shaped member adapted to rotate with the activation of the motor and rotation of the drive shaft, the L-shaped member adapted to periodically contact the fishing rod at a location above and forwardly of the holder to effect its jigging.
