ABSTRACT:
A motor driven trolling device for fishing which when mounted to a gunwale of a fishing boat provides automatic, powered trolling action to a fishing rod held in the device. The mechanism is attached to a gunwale by a specially configured frame which is rigidly locked to the boat. A motor drives a slider crank mechanism which causes an upstanding lever on the slider to move back and forth along a straight line parallel to the gunwale of the boat. The shaft of a fishing rod is held within a notch formed in the upstanding lever and the butt end of the fishing rod is held to a rod holder attached to the frame. As the slider of the slider crank mechanism moves back and forth, the free end of the fishing rod is moved back and forth thereby providing a powered trolling action. The stroke of the fishing rod may be varied by attaching the connecting rod of the slider crank mechansim to a different aperture of the driven crank. Suitable speed controls allow the speed of the trolling to vary as required for the fishing conditions.
