Motorized Fishing Rod
My wife Denise enjoys fishing but is only able to use one hand due to a handicap. To make fishing more fun for her, I developed the Electro-Retrieve, a small, motorized device that will reel in fish at the touch of a button. It uses a small appliance motor, similar to those used on hand-held vacuum cleaners, to reel in the line. The motor attaches to the fishing rod and is powered by a battery carried in the pocket of a life jacket or fishing vest.I really believe there's a market for some-thing like this. There are a lot of people who don't fish just because it takes two hands. I'd like to compare notes with interested investors and manufacturers. (Jay Jensen, No. 49, Marway Tr.
