PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make use of a fishing rod in anglers empirical guess of the kind or size of a hooked fish from force of a tug by the fish or vibration from the fish, a so-called strike, when the fish is hooked using the fishing rod.SOLUTION: A fishing rod is mounted with a strike acoustic system which acquires, using a microphone, vibration generated in the fishing rod such as force of a tug or vibration thereof when a load is imposed and a rod tip is pulled in, converts an acquired sound signal into a wireless signal with a transmitter, and wirelessly transmits it to a receiver side. In the strike acoustic system, the receiver side demodulates the received wireless signal to convert it into the sound signal, and the vibration of the fishing rod is detected as sound using earphones.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】釣竿に魚が掛かった場合、釣り人は、魚による引きの強さや魚が発する振動、所謂、魚信から経験的に、掛かった魚の種別や大きさを推測している。【解決手段】釣竿は、負荷が掛かり、竿先が引き込まれる際の引きの強さやその振動等の釣竿に発生する振動をマイクで取得し、取得した音信号を送信器で無線信号に変換して受信器側に無線送信する。受信器側は、受信した無線信号を復調して音信号に変換し、イヤホンにより釣竿の振動を音として聴音する魚信音響システムを搭載する。【選択図】図2
