To provide a fishing state detection/transmission device that is capable of being provided on a fishing rod, detecting the above-described fishing state accurately and reliably, and transmitting the fishing state to the fishing person. There is provided a fishing state detection/transmission device according to an embodiment of the disclosure that comprises a grip portion and is provided on a fishing rod to which a fishing line having a fishing hook is attached at an end, the fishing state detection/transmission device comprising: a vibration generation unit that is provided on the grip portion and generates vibration in the grip portion; a first detection unit that is provided on the fishing rod and detects movement or vibration of the fishing rod to generate first time-series data; and an information processing unit that transmits a vibration generation signal to the vibration generation unit on a basis of the first time-series data.

An angling system comprising a wearable band and at least one detector selected from: at least one fish bite detector, wherein the or each fish bite detector comprises a fish bite sensor connected to a transceiver, and wherein the or each fish bite detector is configured to transmit a signal upon the fish bite sensor detecting a fish bite; and a motion detector, wherein the motion detector comprises a motion sensor connected to a transceiver, and wherein the motion detector is configured to transmit a signal upon the motion sensor detecting motion, wherein the wearable band comprises: at least one strap; and a wireless communication unit, wherein the wireless communication unit is attached or attachable to the at least one strap, wherein the wireless communication unit comprises a transceiver, at least one actuator, and at least one of a haptic actuator connected to the transceiver and an alarm connected to the transceiver, wherein the transceiver of the wireless communication unit is pairable with the transceiver of the or each at least one detector using the at least one actuator, wherein the transceiver of the wireless communication unit is configured to receive signals transmitted by each paired at least one detector, and wherein reception of each signal causes the haptic actuator, if present, to vibrate and the alarm, if present, to sound.

An electrical transmission line cable suited for a variety of applications, including as a fishing line in a video fishing system. The electrical transmission line cable has a first conductor and a second conductor forming an electrical transmission line; a jacket containing the first conductor and the second conductor; and a transmission line primary dielectric element separating the first conductor and the second conductor, wherein the primary dielectric element is at least one of textile yarns, fiber yarns, or monofilaments. The electrical transmission line may be in a balanced configuration or an unbalanced configuration.

A reel suitable for bow fishing and the like provides a cowling covering a reel with a wide opening to reduce frictional restraint on high-speed paying out of the line with the flight of the arrow. An optional guide arm may be used to minimize line diversion and hence friction during line payout while absorbing forces when the line is retracted permitting use of a lighter cowling design without loss of strength. A high torque bevel gear transmission and safety lighting is further provided.

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 fish bite indicator utilizes a line retainer coupled to a pivot arm and configured to rotate to bring a pair of electrical contacts into contact with a circuit contact to complete a circuit and activate an indicator light and/or indicator speaker. An indicator speaker may produce a factory set alert sound or a recorded alert sound that a user records to distinguish one fishing pole from another. A user may insert the fishing line a desired amount down into the line wedge seam and the depth of insertion may change when the line is released upon the pivoting of the pivot arm. The fish bite indicator may have a drag knob to change how much line tension is required to move the pivot arm and may have a sensitivity knob that adjusts how far the pivot arm has to rotate before the indicator is activated.

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.

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.
