Sound signalling
Fishing line unwinding is signalled by an audible tone with the option to adjust the pitch. When the
fishing line is moving faster, there is a continuous tone to alert a fisherman to a more vigorous fish bite.
The opposite direction (parachute) is signalled by multiple short sounds.
Optical signalling
A series of LEDS located under transparent coloured Perspex provide a clear view of the activity. The
direction display of the unwinding fishing line is resolved in an efficient and clear manner. The unwinding
forward is signalled by LEDs by gradually turning on and off from bottom to top. The parachute is then
signalled by LEDs moving downward.
LED memory function is activated after a bite so that the fisherman is alerted to the bite even with a
delay and has the ability to determine the direction in which the fishing line moved. If the fishing line
