Fishing aid device
View Patent ↗A fishing aid device that is a miniature size and doesn't need a battery. The fishing aid device includes a housing; a fishing aid member disposed in the housing; and an actuating assembly disposed in the housing for energizing the fishing aid member.
1. A fishing aid device comprising:
a housing having a main body and a hollow tubular extension having a distal opening and extending from the main body;
a fishing aid member disposed in the housing;
an actuating assembly disposed in the housing for energizing the fishing aid member, the actuating assembly including a single elongated conductor extending through the distal opening of the hollow tubular extension and outwardly from the housing, the elongated conductor simultaneously engageable with a positive pole of a 9-volt battery and a negative pole of the 9-volt battery to charge a double layered capacitor for a period of time, the double layered capacitor coupled to the elongated conductor and retaining an electrical charge for a period of time, and a resistor coupled to the elongated conductor and in communication with the double layered capacitor, and
a light-emitting member connected to the double layered capacitor and disposed in the housing for emitting a light to illuminate bobbers and fishing tackle.
2. The fishing aid device as described in claim 1 , wherein the light-emitting member is disposed in the tubular extension with light being emitted out of the distal opening of the tubular extension.
3. The fishing aid device as described in claim 1 , wherein the housing further includes a hollow tube disposed in the tubular extension and having open ends and being adapted to receive a fishing line therethrough with the light-emitting member illuminating the fishing tackle coupled to the fishing line.
