  • Patent number: 5119580
    Abstract: A fishing pole holder is pivotally mounted on the upper end portion of an upright tubular housing to rock upwardly and downwardly about a horizontal axis. A battery-operated motor is contained in the housing and is operable to rotate a cam having a plurality of angularly spaced lobes which act against a cam follower on the holder to rock the latter upwardly and downwardly. With this arrangement, a fishing pole supported in the holder may be automatically moved upwardly and downwardly in order to jig a lure in the water.
