ABSTRACT:
A microprocessor controlled force detecting and measuring apparatus for use with a fishing rod, detects deflection of the rod caused by forces at the tip of the rod and computes and displays information such as when a fish bites, the time which elapsed in catching the fish, the maximum force or pull on the line, the force-time product over the time interval that the fish is being caught, and the weight of the fish caught, a keyset enabling selection of the information to be displayed and entry of commands to the microprocessor. The apparatus also detects the presence of slack line during a fishing operation, and aids in setting drag of the fishing reel.
