  • Mechanical Device to Replicate the Ripping Motion Utilized in Fishing
    Publication number: 20120079754
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a mechanical device that replicates the repetitive motion utilized by fishermen in a process known as “ripping”. The ripping process is replicated by use of a mechanical device that rapidly moves heavy fishing line about two feet in the horizontal direction in order to lure walleye to strike at a lure or baited hook. When a walleye strikes the lure, the force-actuated quick-release mechanism releases the line and the line is then completely controlled and attached to the fishing rod.
