In each operation mode process in step S9, it is determined in step S41 in FIG. 6 whether the rotation direction of the spool 10 is the line payout direction. This determination is made based on which reed switch of the spool sensor 41 has emitted the pulse first. When the rotation direction of the spool 10 is determined to be the line payout direction, the process proceeds from step S41 to step S42.
[0048]
In step S42, the data stored in the storage unit 45 is read from the value of the spool counter 42, which decreases at every predetermined pulse of the spool sensor 41, the length of the fed yarn is calculated, and the water depth LX is calculated from the yarn length. The obtained water depth LX is displayed in the display processing of step S2. FIG. 2 shows an example of a screen on the first display unit 5 at this time, and FIG. 7 shows an example of a screen on the second display unit 63. In each operation mode process of the fishing mode, information such as the water depth of the device, the shelf position, and the speed of the spool 10 are displayed on the first display unit 5 and the second display unit 63.
[0049]
In step S43, it is determined whether or not the obtained water depth LX matches the shelf position, that is, whether or not the device has reached the shelf. In step S44, it is determined whether or not another fishing mode is set. If it is not the other fishing mode, the operation mode processing ends and the process returns to the main routine.
When the water depth matches the shelf position, the process shifts from step S43 to step S45, and the buzzer 43 sounds to notify that the device has reached the shelf. In the case of another fishing mode, the process shifts from step S44 to step S46 to execute another designated fishing mode.
[0050]
When it is determined that the rotation of the spool 10 is in the line winding direction, the process proceeds from step S41 to step S49. In step S49, the data stored in the storage unit 45 is read from the value of the spool counter 42, which is increased at every predetermined pulse of the spool sensor 41, the length of the fed yarn is calculated, and the water depth LX is calculated from the yarn length. The obtained water depth LX is also displayed by the display processing of step S2.
[0051]
In step S50, it is determined whether or not the water depth coincides with the ship's edge stop position. If it has not been wound up to the hull stop position, the process returns to the main routine.
When the ship reaches the hull stop position, the process moves from step S50 to step S51. In step S51, the buzzer 43 is sounded to notify that the device is on the rim of the boat. In step S44, the motor 12 is turned off. As a result, the fish is arranged at a position where it can be easily taken in when the fish is caught. This hull stop position is set, for example, when the spool 10 has stopped for a predetermined time or more within a water depth of 6 m.
