Casting Support System by Acceleration Sensor Mounted on Fishing Rod

Abstract

In this study, we investigated about fishing gears control when surf casting by a participant. As a result, it was found that the casting distance became longer when the participant released fishing line at the period of time from the maximum to zero of a fishing rod rotation speed. Thus, the validity of a fishing support system, that automatically releases the fishing line at the optimum time decided by the rotation speed data obtained from an acceleration sensor mounted on the fishing rod, was confirmed.
