Abstract
A fishing float comprises a buoyant body having a water-tight chamber and an electronic means therewithin to attract fish. A integrated circuit device with at least one fish attracting sound recorded on it is housed within the water-tight chamber and is operably connected to a speaker and an electrical power source. Upon activation, the fishing float emits the fish attracting sounds such as natural insect sounds within its general vicinity to attract fish.
Claims19
A fishing float for attachment to a fishing line with a hook at said fishing line's end, said float capable of floating on water and noticeably moving in response to a fish strike on the hook and further being capable of attracting fish, said fishing float comprising:
- (a) a buoyant body with a water-tight chamber therewithin;
- (b) an integrated circuit device mounted within the water-tight chamber of the buoyant doby, said integrated circuit device having recorded on it at least one fish attracting sound;
- (c) a speaker operably associated with the integrated circuit device to broadcast the at least one fish attracting sound into the general vicinity of the fishing float;
- and
- (d) a source of electrical power with means to activate the integrated circuit device and speaker.
A fishing float for attachment to a fishing line and which is capable of attracting fish and signaling when a fish has struck, said fishing float comprising:
- (a) a buoyant body with a water-tight chamber therewithin and having an internal compartment extending from a top surface downwardly into the water-tight chamber, a threaded plug dimensioned to fit within the internal compartment, and a line lock member operably associated with the threaded plug to hold a fishing line in response to threading of the threaded plug into the internal compartment;
- (b) an integrated circuit device mounted within the water-tight chamber of the buoyant body, said integrated circuit device having recorded on it at least one fish attracting sound;
- (c) a speaker operably associated with the integrated circuit device to broadcast the at lest one fish attracting sound into the general vicinity of the fishing float;
- and
- (d) a set of batteries positioned in the internal compartment of the buoyant body such that they are capable of being engaged by the threaded plug to cause an electrical connection so as to activate the integrated circuit device and speaker.
