Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 123 words
A fishing device comprising: (a) A spool having a shaft; (b) a fishing line windable on said spool; (c) electric power means; (d) electric motor means which when connected to said power means rotates said spool shaft so as to rewind said fishing line on to said spool but which when unconnected is rotated by the unwinding of the fishing line in the reverse direction so as to generate an electric current; (e) first switch means for connecting said power means to said motor means; and (f) second switch means actuable by a predetermined minimum voltage of said generated current so as to actuate said first switch means, causing said electric motor means to reverse and rewind said fishing line on said spool.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 123 words
