An automatic fishing system includes a plurality of fishing machines each of which has rotation drums capable of winding fishing lines and capable of rotating in a reeling direction and an unreeling direction, a drive motor for driving the rotation drums in the reeling direction and the unreeling direction, and an electromagnetic clutch for transmitting rotation of the drive motor to the rotation drums, a hooking detection means for always detecting hooking of fish at any one of the plurality of fishing machines, and a fishing machine control means for controlling operations of the plurality of fishing machines in accordance with detection result of the hooking detection means. The fishing machine control means controls the rotation drums of other fishing machines that hook no fish in the reeling direction so that hooks of the other fishing machines are wound up to a water surface or near the water surface.

The fishing rod holder with strike indicator is a free-standing fishing strike indicating device. The fishing rod holder with strike indicator is a stand which holds the fishing rod. The fishing rod holder with strike indicator allows for the adjustment of the cant between the fishing rod and the ground. The adjustment of the cant allows for the adjustment of the angle of attack between the fishing line and the water. The fishing rod holder with strike indicator comprises a tripod, a pedestal, and a control circuit. The pedestal mounts on the tripod. The control circuit is contained within the tripod. The tripod is a supporting structure that adjusts the elevation of the pedestal relative to the ground. The fishing rod mounts on the pedestal. The control circuit detects when a fish has struck the fishing line and generates a visible alarm and an audible alarm.

A spinner type lure having a magnetized portion that is used to generate a changing magnetic field during a retrieve, which is harnessed by at least one coil positioned within that magnetic field and in operative communication with a light source and associated circuitry embedded in a core thereof, such that, during a retrieve, light is emitted by the lure.

A fishing information management system has a fishing rod to which a fishing reel with a spool capable of winding a fishing line is attached, and is configured to include an operation/environment information detector that detects information on operation and environment of operation of fishing tools when in use including the fishing reel and the fishing rod, a calculator that calculates hit values related to catching fish from information on the operation of the fishing tools, a storage that stores the detection values and the hit values, and an indicator that displays at least either of the detection values or the hit values.

A fishing information management system has a fishing rod to which a fishing reel with a spool capable of winding a fishing line is attached, and is configured to include an operation/environment information detector that detects information on operation and environment of operation of fishing tools when in use including the fishing reel and the fishing rod, a calculator that calculates the skill levels in operating the fishing tools from information on the operation of the fishing tools, a storage that stores the detection values and the skill levels, and an indicator that displays at least either of the detection values or the skill levels.

A fishing information management system has a fishing rod to which a fishing reel with a spool capable of winding a fishing line is attached, and is configured to include a fishing line unwinding commencement detector that detects the commencement of the unwinding of the fishing line by the fishing reel, an operation information detector that detects the operation information of at least either of the fishing reel or the fishing rod, an operation information list creation portion that extracts the operation information each time when the unwinding of the fishing line commences and creates an operation information list that aggregates several operation information, a receiver that obtains fishing information from an external device, and a processor that associates the operation information list with the fishing information.

A castable object is described. In some embodiments, a castable object includes: a structure including a first distal end and a second distal end; a fastener coupled to the first distal end, where the fastener is configured to couple to a fishing system; and a first fastening surface attached to at least the second distal end, where the castable object is configured to be cast by the fishing system onto a target, and where the first fastening surface is configured to removably attach to a second fastening surface of the target.

A fishing information management system includes a fishing reel and an external information communication terminal capable of communicating with the fishing reel, transmits casting information from the fishing reel to the external information communication terminal each time a cast is performed, and is configured to stop the transmission of the casting information on the last cast but one, and to transmit at least part of the casting information on the last cast, when the casting information on the last cast but one is not transmitted or has not been completely transmitted to the external information communication terminal upon the ending of the last cast.

A fishing reel includes a spool capable of winding a fishing line, a detector capable of detecting the rotation amount of the spool, a storage that records the rotation amount of the spool as a detection result, and a transmitter that transmits the detection result to the outside, and is configured to select the casting mode when the detection result of the rotation amount of the spool is equal to or greater than a first threshold, and to select the drop mode when the detection result of the rotation amount of the spool is less than the first threshold.

A fishing information management system has a fishing rod to which a fishing reel with a spool is attached, and includes an operation/environment information detector that detects information on operation and environment of operation of fishing tools when in use, a storage that stores the information on the operation and operation environment of the fishing tools when in use, a display that displays said information, wherein the display is capable of displaying at least one of the list view of the information on the operation and operation environment of the fishing tools for each casting and dropping, the detailed view of the information on the operation and operation environment of the fishing tools at the predetermined time of casting and dropping, or the statistical information view of statistical information calculated from the information on the operation and operation environment of the fishing tools for each casting and dropping.
