ABSTRACT:
Apparatus supports fishing rod which extends from a housing secured to gunwale of a boat. The housing has an output shaft with a rod holder which carries the fishing rod. A motor within the housing rotates the output shaft through a variable control device which controls speed, direction and limits of rotation of the motor and thus stroke of the fishing rod. The apparatus has position sensors which are responsive to position of the output shaft and thus reflect position of fishing rod. The device also has a load sensor which is responsive to excessive load on the output shaft and disconnects power to the motor when torque on the shaft exceeds a predetermined value. At this stage the fisherman can remove the fishing rod from the holder, and play the fish in the normal manner. The apparatus permits a lone fisherman to jig, while leaving his hands free to control his boat.
