Sensing apparatus (24) includes one or more sensors (26, 28, 46, 48), configured to sense properties of water in which the sensing apparatus floats. A wireless communication interface (42) is coupled to transmit signals indicative of an output of the one or more sensors. An energy storage device (58) is coupled to provide electrical energy to the one or more sensors and to the wireless communication interface. A sealed case (25) contains the one or more sensors, the wireless communication interface, and the energy storage device and has sufficient buoyancy to float in the water.

A wireless water regimen detecting device includes a fish finder module, a data communication module connected to the fish finder module and a WIFI module connected to the data communication module, which are arranged within a housing. The wireless water regimen detecting device utilizes the wireless communication way of WIFI to make the display terminal of the fish finder module not be limited to the wireless receiving terminal which is especially prepared for it, but can use existing intelligent terminals with a WIFI wireless communication function, such as smart phone, tablet PC, notebook computer or other portable mobile devices, to display. Sweb operating mode of monopoly serial communication port can be utilized, thus the user can carry on related operation on the webpage of the display terminal by visiting the web server to obtain detecting information of the fish finder module. Much convenience is provided to the user.

A fishing reel includes a body frame, a spool, an acceleration detector, a braking device, and one or more processors. The spool is rotatably arranged at the body frame and configured to wind a fishing line. The acceleration detector is configured to detect a line release acceleration of the fishing line. The braking device is configured to apply resistance to the spool. The one or more processors are connected to the acceleration detector and the braking device and configured to control the braking device to apply the resistance to the spool according to the line release acceleration to cause a rotation speed of the spool to match a line release speed of the fishing line.

A fishing reel comprises: a spool designed to wind a fishing line by operation with an operating part; a first side plate having the operating part, the first side plate axially supporting the spool; a second side plate disposed opposite to the first side plate when viewed along an axis of the spool, the second side plate axially supporting the spool; an opposite side cover or a cover on an opposite side from the operating part, the opposite side cover covering the second side plate on a side opposed to the operating part; a control substrate disposed between the second side plate and the opposite side cover; and an electrical component electrically connected to the control substrate, the electrical component being disposed between the control substrate and the opposite side cover.

A wireless water regimen detecting device includes a fish finder module, a data communication module connected to the fish finder module and a WIFI module connected to the data communication module. The present invention utilizes the wireless communication way of WIFI to make the display terminal of the fish finder module not be limited to the wireless receiving terminal which is especially prepared for it, but can use existing intelligent terminals with a WIFI wireless communication function, such as smart phone, tablet PC, notebook computer or other portable mobile devices, to display. The present invention further utilizes the Sweb operating mode of monopoly serial communication port, thus the user can carry on related operation on the webpage of the display terminal by visiting the web server to obtain detecting information of the fish finder module. The present invention provides much convenience for user.

A fishing apparatus comprises the combination of a fishing pole or fishing rod to which is engaged a fishing-line terminating with a fishing hook, the fishing line extending from the fishing pole or fishing rod for luring fish to the fishing hook; and a fish-strike indicator comprising an enclosure, an illumination device within the enclosure, and a line securement adapted for engaging the fishing line prior to a fish strike and further adapted for disengaging from the fishing line upon a fish strike.

A multi-level programmable alerting system may be used with a fishing pole and a handheld device. The system includes a sensing device associatable with the fishing pole and an application associatable with the handheld device. The system detects and alerts an angler that fish are nibbling, biting, and/or striking.

A smart fishing rod device that fits on the tip of any fishing rod. The line passes through the device, and the device senses tension on the line. A processor in the device is configured to interpret increases in tension as the presence of fish. The device can signal wirelessly to a smart device that there is a fish present. The device can also have one or more LEDs that flashes when a fish is present. The smart device can run an application (APP) that displays or signals the presence of a fish on one or more rods equipped with the device.

An alarm system having a portable body carried controller that wireless communicates with multiple remote base units each having a wireless communications system configured for ultralow power mode operation where the communications system is put in sleep mode greater than one half packet transmission time but no greater than preamble transmission time to conserve battery life. Controller has multiple LED-equipped buttons assigned to corresponding base units during pairing which are respectively activated when the corresponding base unit assigned thereto alarms upon occurrence of a sensor detection event. Pressing the button can turn off the LED alarm, can poll the assigned base unit, and can task the assigned base unit including to operate in flashlight mode where base unit is lit up. A preferred base unit has an enclosure with legs that form reversible pedestals upon which base unit can be placed.

A device is which alerts a fisher of a pull on the line (typically caused by a fish bite) is disclosed. The device includes a triggering arm pivotally mounted and placed between two contacts with fishing line placed under the arm. The arm acts to electrically isolate the two contacts when placed between them. The device may include a power source and one or more switches for an audible and/or visual alarm. The two contacts are part of the electrical circuit and complete the circuit when they touch. If a fish bites, the tension on the line will cause the upward movement of the non-conductive arm, allowing the contacts to touch and close the circuit to cause an alert that may be audible and/or visual.
