Abstract:
1. A vibration transmitting device adapted for rapid and secure attachment to and rapid detachment from fishing rods of different cross-sectional dimensions comprising of: An elongated casing, A source of electrical power mounted on said casing, A vibration transmitting housing mounted on said casing at one end thereof, Vibration generating means mounted on said casing and electrically connected to said source of electrical power so as to cause said housing to vibrate, A soft and resilient extension depending from said casing towards the other end thereof, said extension having at its bottom a cavity defined by a wall adapted to be able to frictionally engage at least two fishing rods having shafts of different cross-sectional dimensions, A first strap having one end fixably attached to the casing above the extension and a free end adapted to wrap around a fishing rod and be secured to the casing whereby the extension is urged into tight frictional engagement with the rod, A pair of nubs of vibration transmitting material extending downwardly from the vibration transmitting housing, said nubs spaced from each other whereby said projections are adapted to engage the outer surface of fishing rods of different cross-sectional dimensions to assist in the prevention of the device from rotation of the device about said rods, A second strap having one end fixably attached to the housing above and rearward of the nubs, and a free end adapted to wrap around a fishing rod and be secured to the housing so as to urge the nubs into tight frictional engagement with the rod.
