Fisherman Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 A different approach, maybe something for someone with limited dexterity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Not sure but what about those rigs they use for pike fishing that has the flag and small "wing" that goes up and down with the wind, wind powered jigger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 yup but not motorized im not even sure, just think i remember reading something about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsman Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Nothing currently in Ontario laws to prohibit this device. It's illegal to use a spring to set the hook but this doesn't use a spring to set the hook. A rod under tension is not considered a spring which some other devices use.

Woodsman Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Actually some downriggers also mechcanically jig up & down. They are also legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKRISONER Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) boy i hope buddy got a patent before going on the news. Otherwise bass pro is already going to have an order out to china to make 10,000 of them for 10 cents a piece and will subsequently sue the guy for stealing their idea to boot.

Terry Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 i guess the problem is can it jig without setting the hook if a mechanical device helps set the hook it would be illegal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are 110% right Acree. A million and a half hits too late. There are corporations like BP and or Cabela's out there already that have copied it and applied for preliminary patents in the US I'm afraid to say. Money talks and great ideas given for free walk. They are probably already developing an App for the smart phone to tell you a fish is on. Too bad for the guy really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Enwinde Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 People have been making auto jiggers for years. This guy just had good timing ..... and facebook. I saw a guy about five years ago with a pretty slick one at Quinte. Though his certainly looked like it "could have" set the hook as it had a pretty swift upward jigging motion before falling back on slack line.

grimsbylander Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 The fact he posted it all over Facebook is probably a good thing if he's going to pursuit a patent. Chronologically, it openly demonstrates he held the intellectual property first. If he sells this idea to a larger business to take over, they'll have a great paper trail of ownership. It's the good ideas that get mentioned causally to the wrong people that get sniped because it becomes a he said, she said battle. Either way, he should unload it for cash and a residual % of sales and let a business with the capital to build and market it have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsman Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 Getting a patent now would cost more than it's worth if even possible. Other simular products out there already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
