  • Patent number: 5036616
    Abstract: A fish bait jigger imparts motion to the fish bait of a fishing pole or the like that is not held by a fisherman. The fish bait jigger comprises a small electric motor and battery mounted in a housing that is removably attached to the fishing pole. A roller is mounted to the motor shaft. The fish line is placed over the periphery of the roller. The roller is rotated by the motor to produce an eccentric motion to the roller periphery, thereby jigging the bait. The roller periphery may be circular or non-circular.
