ABSTRACT:
A fishing rod jigging apparatus includes features for imparting repeated normal cycles of up and down motion to the rod and for rapid upward movement overriding the normal cycle in the event of a bite on the line is sensed. The apparatus has an arm connected to a rod holder and rotatably secured on an axis transverse to the arm. A motor drives an inner shaft defining the axis of rotation, and an outer shaft connected to the arm is disposed around and concentric to the inner shaft. Movement of the arm though a portion of the revolution such as 30 degrees is obtained by actuating the inner shaft so that a radially extending pin on the shaft engages the end of a partial circumferential slot in the outer shaft. Switches engageable by the outer end of the pin are connected to circuitry that turns the motor off and on as required. Rapid upward movement responsive to increased line tension is provided by a solenoid-actuated shaft that engages a radially extending tab on the outer shaft. Circuitry is provided for overriding the normal up and down cycle in such an event. Electronic control features are provided, including a control panel and circuitry for varying the speed of the motor.
