ABSTRACT:
A tension responsive fishing apparatus is provided which includes a pole member having an interior. The interior of the pole member is filled with a variable viscosity fluid, such as, electrical rheological fluid, magnetic-powder dispersed fluid, or the like. A controlled potential may be applied to the variable viscosity fluid which causes the variable viscosity fluid to vary in viscosity dependent on the amount of potential applied thereacross. In other words, depending on the amount of potential applied to the variable viscosity fluid disposed in the interior of the pole member, the flexure of the pole member may be selectively varied from extremes of high flexibility to high rigidity. An improved reel member is provided which varies a resistance applied to a bobbin member which is effected to control the release of fishing line. The varying resistance is controlled in response to input signals inputted dependent on tension sensed in the fishing line and/or a value selected by a user. The varying resistance means may be comprised of a friction plate disposed between two electrodes and surrounded by a variable viscosity fluid. The resistance varied in response to a controlled potential applied through the electrodes. In accordance with the present invention, a tension responsive fishing apparatus is provided for automatically setting a hook when a fish strikes. Tension is sensed in the fishing line during a fish strike and triggers a hook setting operation. The fishing line is conveyed in a direction effective to set the hook.
