Abstract:
A fishing arrangement comprising:a rod; a reel that has a line spool and is mounted on the rod; an electric motor mounted within the reel; a transmission connecting the motor to the line spool; a lure; a hook mounted in the lure; a line with ends attached to the lure and the reel, respectively; a voltage source connected to the motor; a sensor mounted within the lure; first and second electrical conductors that lead from the reel to the lure; a first connection arrangement connecting the first and second electrical conductors connecting the voltage source to the sensor; in which: an inner portion of the hook extends within the lure and forms an electrical contact arm connected in series with the sensor; in a ready position, the contact arm of the hook is at a distance from a contact surface of the sensor, the series connection between the voltage source and the sensor thereby being broken; in an activated position, the contact arm of the hook touches the contact surface of the sensor and closes the series connection between the voltage source and the sensor; and when the series connection between the voltage source and the sensor is closed, the motor is also activated, whereby the motor rotates the line spool and reels in the line and lure.
