Lightning Pole
The lighting pole is a fishing pole that allows for a fisherman or a beginner to fish tangle and stress-free. This works by a compressed spring that holds a different variety of lures including live bait, which is then launched underneath trees and vines to hit that exact spot where the fish are located. After launching the bait we have invented a way for you to reel in the lure or fish with ease, we have attached a 12-volt motor with our design the motor is able to achieve 343.4 oz of torque, thus providing sufficient power for even the strongest fish. The lighting pole is a battery-operated electric fishing pole that utilizes a motor to spin and rotate the reel and also automates the action of throwing the reel by implementing a spring to propel the bait with enough force to reach 10-15 ft. By eliminating the need to skillfully hold onto the hand supporting the reel, the operator is able to achieve greater control and leverage when they’re pulling the fish from the water. This automated process also helps beginner fishers and small children to achieve skillful hunting and recreational activity.

Roles
Brandon- Designed the geometry of the fishing pole and structure through Fusion 360. Built the reel mechanism.
Jorgo- Developed and made the spring mechanism and troubleshoot issues during testing.
Miguel- Helped design electronic components soldered electronic parts.
Get some plywood and dry fit everything to make sure it's elevated and everything fits.
Next, you attach the reel next to the fitted plywood and screw in both ends.
Then you need to hose clamp the 12 volt motor on the elevated plywood and attach the end of the reel to the motor with a key for the motor to turn the reel.
Attach the battery next to the plywood with zip ties and connect the wires from the motor to the battery.
This is how the lure will be launched you get a spring this one is from a nerf gun and you attach it to the plywood with a hose clamp, you also attach the fishing pole to the end of the plywood with zipties.
We then have the speed remote this controls the speed of the motor and affects how fast the reel will turn.
