This is a project I have been working on in my spare time. I have teamed up with Steve Carkner of Revision Military.
The BiteMinder is a sensor that activates a led and alarm which is attached to a fishing rod. It has a receiver that can pick up the signal at over 300 feet.
As shown in the picture below I have a fishing rod setup at the waters edge as I work on designing the receiver on my computer. The receiver will flash and sound an alarm to tell me if I have a bite.
This was our original design that had a receiver that could monitor up to 16 Fishing rods at once.
Receiver Pager Ver.
Our next version was a pager type receiver that you can attach to your belt that can monitor up to four fishing rods.
Sensor on Rod
This sensor is attached to the end of your fishing rod with rubber orings.
