Description

Electronic fluorescent stick

The invention relates to a fluorescent stick, in particular to an electronic fluorescent stick.

Generally speaking, the traditional buoy is a hollow plastic tube, which can be connected with the buoy body to form a closed hollow chamber, which in turn makes the buoy have a certain buoyancy in the water. When a buoy is tied to a fishing line with a fish hook and floats on the water surface, the entire buoy will jump violently up and down because the fish caught by the fish hook pulls the fishing line, so the angler can be notified to raise or retract the rod. However, this type of buoy does not have a night recognition function. Therefore, in low light or at night, it is not easy to detect whether there is a fish hook and it is easy to miss the opportunity to raise the pole.

In order to solve the problem that the buoy cannot normally perform the notification function at night, existing manufacturers have added batteries and lamps to the buoy to provide a constant light function, so that the angler can clearly see the lamp at night to know whether the fish is caught and immediately raise the pole. It's just that the angler must concentrate on staring at the light on the buoy to see if it jumps up and down violently, otherwise it will still miss important fish news.

However, the traditional buoy is to set the battery and the lamp on the end of the buoy floating above the water surface. Wherein the lamp emits light at the end of the buoy. Not only is the brightness insufficient, but a single bright spot can also cause a problem of low night recognition function.
