New Fishing Alarm Helps Solve My Dad’s and All Anglers’ Problem.

On this Saturday night, I went fishing with my dad. I have observed some moments that would reflected some problems. I saw one fishing bite bell dropped into the sea when my dad set the hook.  I also found that my dad could not hear the bell rang when he stood just a little far away from the fishing rod. The last thing I observed  was that my dad could not recognize which bell rings until he got really close to see the shaking bell. From the observation, I concluded the following problems with the fishing bite bell:

  • The fishing bell was easy to fall off into the sea
  • The bell ring was not loud enough to be hear
  • The fishing bell could not been seen easily

I was questioning the following myself:

  • How might we make the fishing bell be very firmly tied on the rod, so that it won’t fall into the sea?
  • How might we make the fishing bell be easily seen, so the angler can notice which rod has fishing biting right away?
  • How might we make the sound louder, so the angler can hear clearly?

I had brainstorm some possible solutions based on problems I observed.  The following were my ideas about the new fishing bell that I believed fit my father’s and other anglers’ needs and wants:

  • Creating a fishing bell with a spiral screw, so it can be firmly tied on the pole.
  • The fishing bell should have a light on it, so it can be easily seen in the dark
  • The fishing bell can be plug in the alarm feature, so it can be heard by the angler.

The following is my design for the fishing bite alarm on Tinkercad:

:

The red bottom part was LED light with sound feature on it. The little yellow part was a spiral screw, you can twist until it was tied. The silver twin bells were there in case that there was run out of battery for the light and alarm.

I believed my “product” would fit my dad’s and other anlgers’ needs,because it is all in one integrated: sound, light and firmly secured. It helps solve all problems with single product.

  1. This is a really interesting idea and honestly something that will be really useful for me when I (rarely) go fishing for fun. I like to concept of attaching Led with it as that will be very helpful for many people.

  2. This is a cool idea – I like how you integrated circuits into the design. I’m guessing the next step might be adding a battery for the LED light!

  3. Xiu, I really like your approach to your dad’s problem. You clearly stated what are the issues, and even though you are not inventing a new product from scratch, you’re taking an existing one and making it better.

    My only thought would be that the LED light might scare the fish away?

  4. Thank you. The LED light is designed to notify that the fish is on bite. The light alert triggered if there is a fish get hooked. The alarm is clipped on rod, won’t shine on the fish.
