There is a smart rod for ice fishing in development. Bait playing with adjustable parameters (amplitude, frequency, number of oscillations, pause time) is implemented. There is a fish detector and automatic hooker with the bait alarm. Also, all electronic parts will be waterproof.
Follow the development of the ESPboy project and its useful modules. 

Winter is coming and so are the real tests coming soon.
