An active suspension orthotic support system is disclosed. The suspension orthotic support system comprises at least one variable resistance beam extending from a heel section to a mid-arch section of the footwear, wherein rotation of the variable resistance beam from a first position to a second position causes a resistance provided by the variable resistance beam to vary between a minimum resistance to a maximum resistance.

As a result of the development of a range of modular fishing rods, has become possible to produce a number of different rod styles from a relative small number of modular fishing rod components. Alongside this development is the growing trend of people interested in fishing to travel and to explore different fishing experiences. This has created a need for a safe and convenient way to store and transport modular fishing rods, or rod sets. Disclosed is a transportation container for a modular fishing rod primarily including four hinged panels that can be opened out to gain easy access, and then folded together to provide a strong carry case having a rigid triangular cross section. The container has an inside surface that can secure parts of a modular fishing rod in a spaced apart arrangement and/or secure inserts having slots which perform a similar function.

An enclosure for an electronic device such as a light or bite indicator is provided that may be positioned and located on a butt end of a fishing rod (nearer to the reel). The enclosure includes two securing members that may be threaded to one another or snapped together to form a cavity there between. The first securing member includes a post that engages with the rod, and the post may be permanently attached to the butt end of the fishing rod. The second securing member may be threaded onto or snapped together with the first securing member to form the cavity, and the securing members may be sealed to one another using rubber seals to increase water-tightness of the cavity.

A fishing rod includes a rod body. The rod body includes a plurality of strips, each of the plurality of strips includes a tip strip portion having a first narrowing section which gradually narrows in width towards the rod end side and an end strip portion having a second narrowing section which gradually narrows in width towards the rod tip side. At least a part of the first narrowing section and at least a part of the second narrowing section overlap with each other to form an overlapping portion.

The fishing tool includes an elongated member having a handle disposed at a first end thereof. The handle includes an open lower end. Indicia indicating various length measurements are disposed along the length of the elongated member. A scale is disposed within the elongated member, wherein the scale includes a hook operably affixed thereto, the hook extending through the open lower end. A mounting member is removably affixed to an exterior surface of the elongated member, wherein the mounting member can secure the elongated member to a mount.

An ice fishing bite indicator alert device for use with a reel having wound fishing line with the device including a housing to be mounted proximate the fishing reel and a movement indicator actuator located on the reel in a position spaced from an axis of rotation of the reel. The housing supports an electrically connected circuit that includes a trigger switch, at least one light source, at least one power source, and an on/off switch, with the trigger switch located within a path of movement of the movement indicator actuator. The electrically connected circuit has an inactivated state and an activated state which are associated with the location of the movement indicator actuator relative to the trigger switch and which control whether the trigger switch enables the power source to provide power to the light. The device also may include a sound source to provide an audible alert.

A fishing device adapted to be used hands-free and generate an alert when a fish is hooked is ideally suited to be used in confined spaces such as an ice fishing shelter.

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.
