The receiver also provides information on country clubs and fairway holes in a golf course by using @ content function, and putting distance or angle may be measured by a digital sensor. Addidonal Components such as a sound recorder, stomige media for igital photo album, digital camera, oF electronic pocket- book may also be integrated into the receiver. Since con- figurations of the above components and functions are commonly used inthe at, detailed explanation and drawings thereof are omitted jn this disclosure. Accordingly, in the fishing using a float aevording to the present invention, signals of fish's bite o hooking sent by the electronic fishing float 1, namely, illumination of LED, or sound and vibration of hooper are transmitted and tlisplayed elessly. Therefore, even a beginner having less experience in fishing may pull a fishing rod atthe correct time in response to a fish’s bite of hooking. In the feld of fishing Noats, Buoyancy means a Moating force, namely. force acting against the gravity. The buoy- aney is indicated a6 , , , or numbers. According to the sizes and shapes ofa float, the floats are divided into a float for long distance and a float for short distance, or a float for high buoyancy and a Moat for ow buoyancy.

At the same time, the numbers assigned to cs float are displayed on a monitor ora beeper. Therefore, cach fishing od is distinguished in fishing condition wsing a plurality of fishing rods, and the booking ofa fish is easily identified even in heavy fog. cloud, and rain ‘Additionally an eletronie fishing float 1 according tothe present javention may include an underwater camera (not shown in the drawings) and a monitor connected by an electrical signal method, in order for an angler to see the actual situation of a fish's bite of hooking In the electronic fishing Boat according to the present invention, the foal time required for transiting signals of the fish's bite fiom the tinsmitter to the receiver and outputting digital signals as sound, vibration, or light is out 0.2 second. “The electronic fishing fat may be used both for day and ‘ight fishing. ‘The LED lamp illuminates continuously for 30 hours, ad entanglement of fishing lines may be avoided. In particular, the lie ime of battery forthe electron fishing oat is bout 100 hours, ad the illiination time may be extended by replacing a battery in the transmitter ‘Various buoyancies according tothe kinds of fishes are provides only with one electronic fishing oat, and a evil ‘Spring made of materials such as stainless soo, o¢ titanium, is assembled with a piston, Accordingly, setting of the electronic fishing float may be changed with more than ten variations, Therefore, the electronic fishing foat may be cffectvely used both for freshwater fishing and soa fi and has advantages of high economical eflicieney and reduc- tion of environmental contamination and wastes. As described above, by using an electronic transmitter and receiver according to the present invention, signals of a fish's bite or hooking are transmitted and output as illumi nation of LED, sound, vibration, of monitoring, Therefore, fan angler can identify signals ofthe fish’s bite or booking ‘without continuously watehing a fishing oat. Adationaly, the angler may idently the signals of the fish's bite or hooking more clearly, and pul fishing od ata correct ime. Accordingly the probability of hooking a fish is improved and more fishes may be eave “The present invention enables effective fishing by pre- venting the electronic fishing float ftom being earied sway by flowing water, and thereby maintaining an angler’s location at @ predetermined position. Additionally, the receiver socording to the present invention may provide ‘2eographieal information such as fishing of mountaineering ‘map, and various funetions suc as a sound recorder, storage ‘media for digital photo album, digital camera, Therefore, everybody, reganlless of age or sex, can enjoy a happy fishing leisure. ‘What is laimed is 1 A multi-function electronic fishing lot comprising: 2 transmitter sending radio frequency signals ofa fish's bite or hooking: 10 1 receiver receiving and processing the radiofrequency ‘signals and showing information on the bite and hook= ing as sound, vibration, o light main body having a platform formed with step on its ‘upper surface, accommodation holes formed in the platform slong the inter circumference of the main body, a frst screw and a second sorow respectivoly formed on the outer cireumfereniat surface of the top and bottom parts of the main body, a slip groove formed at the middle part of he body around the oster circumferential surface, and female srew formed on the inner circumferential surface a the top of the main badly ‘an uppee cap formes! ass dome, and having. serew on ts inner circumferential surface: lower cap fonmed as a eylinder and having a plurality of ‘openings and rotating blades disposed radially at the ‘Sime intervals on is outer circumferential sie, and 2 plurality of upper protrusions radially formed on its inser circumferential surface, ‘locking eap having a handle on its upper sure snd & ‘male sere formed on its outer circumferential surice 4 piston formed with a predetermined Deight, having a ‘magnet assembled in steppe form and a connection Dole formed at its lower par, and being inserted into cil spring: ‘an upper watertight packing inserted between the min ‘ody and the upper exp; a lower watenight packing fixed tothe step; transmitter inching a printed cenit board that has & battery, terminals, a fst lead switch, a seeond lead switch, and a third lead switch, and being assembled with the platform; fishing line brake inchiding a frst cover and 2 socond cover assemble together by a hooking method, a hole having « predetermined length and formed on its upper part, a spring and a fixing pin assembled together to provide repulsive fore, a guide channel through which main fishing Tine passes, a dise and hinged shat ‘atively assembled inthe guide channel, a rubber pad installed for braking the isk; and a bottom cap. 2. The multi-function cleewonic fishing oat of claim 1, further inchuding eonneeting rods that protrades verically from the upper surface ofthe platform, snd holes formed on the printed eiuit board of the transmitter, allowing the connecting rods to be inserted therein, 3. The multifunction electronic fishing float of claim 1 fanter inchuding a bottom cap assembled with the loser: most part of the main body. 4. The multi-funetion electronic fishing float of elim 1, rer including @ protrusion fing groove formes on the {nner circumferential surface ofthe bottom eap. 5. The multi-function eleetonie fishing float of claim 1, ‘wherein the transmitter has functions of detecting signals of the fish's bite or hooking with the lead switches, applying the detected signals to transmittance controle, illuminat- ing a light emiting diode of an operating module, and sending the radio frequency signals through a radio fre- quency module,
