ABSTRACT:
A motorized fishing device havin a body containing a motor, a power source preferably a battery, and a propeller driven by the motor for propelling the body through the water. A float, preferably a bobber, is attached to the body to stabilize it and keep it afloat while also indicating its position in the water. The body is equipped with means for mounting it to a fishing line to be movable along the line relative thereto upstream of a hook and sinker or other tackle located at the end portion of the line. The body additionally includes a releasable catch for fixing the line relative to the body so that initially, the body will feed out the line off a rod and reel as the body is propelled through the water. The catch may be released either by a striking fish or by the user applying tension to the line. Release of the catch allows direct feel through the line to a hooked fish and also may be also to change the depth of the hook and sinker in the water. The body also has a cage about the propeller to protect it from weeds or other vegetation in the water as well as entanglement by the line.
