Abstract

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.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A fishing information management system having a fishing rod, a fishing reel with a spool capable of winding a fishing line being attached to the fishing rod, and a rig being attached to an end of the fishing line distal the fishing reel, the fishing information management system comprising:
an operation and environment information detector configured to detect information on operation of fishing tools and information on operation environment of the fishing tools when in use, including information from the fishing reel, the fishing rod, and the rig;
a calculator configured to calculate hit values related to catching fish from the information on the operation of the fishing tools, the hit values being a percentage indicating whether a fish bite has occurred;
a storage configured to store detection values and the hit values; and
an indicator configured to display at least either of the detection values or the hit values, wherein
an operation detection device and a communication device are provided inside the rig,
the operation detection device comprises an acceleration sensor,
the indicator is configured to display a graph having a first axis representing the hit values and a second axis representing an elapsed time,
the graph further includes a length of the fishing line, and
the hit values are calculated based on the detection values of a tension applied to the fishing line, an occurrence of backlash of the spool, a deflection or bend of the fishing rod, a vibration of the fishing rod, a sinking of a float attached to the fishing line, a vibration of the fishing line or the rig attached to the fishing line, an occurrence of an operation of raising the fishing rod, and an occurrence of winding the fishing reel.

2. The fishing information management system according to claim 1 , wherein the fishing tools include the fishing reel, the fishing rod, the fishing line, a hook, a weight, an artificial bait, the float, a balance, or a ground bait container.

3. The fishing information management system according to claim 1 , wherein the operation environment of the fishing tools includes at least one of a start time and an end time for the use of the fishing tools, a weather condition when the fishing tools are used, and a location where the fishing tools are used.

4. The fishing information management system according to claim 1 , wherein the operation and environment information detector includes at least a reel operation information detector configured to detect operation information of the fishing reel, and a fishing rod operation information detector configured to detect operation information of the fishing rod.

5. The fishing information management system according to claim 4 , wherein the operation information of the fishing reel includes at least one of a pulled-out amount of a reel's drag, a pulling-out speed of a reel's drag, a spool rotation start point, a spool rotation end point, a spool diameter, a maximum rotation speed of the spool, a rotation speed history of the spool, a brake setting, a motion of the fishing rod, and backlash information, the backlash information including the occurrence of the backlash of the spool.

6. The fishing information management system according to claim 4 , wherein the operation information of the fishing rod includes at least one of a speed, an acceleration, a deformation amount, and a motion of, and a method of casting, the fishing rod.

7. The fishing information management system according to claim 1 , wherein the hit values related to catching fish are also calculated based on at least either of a pulled-out amount or a pulling out speed of a reel's drag.

8. The fishing information management system according to claim 1 , wherein the hit values related to catching fish are also calculated based on at least either of an amount of the deflection, or an operation amount, of the fishing rod.
