ABSTRACT:
A fishing rod holder includes an outer cup-shaped plastic body of a generally rectangular configuration and having an internal separation wall defining an alert chamber to one side and a support chamber to the opposite side. A fish rod socket is located within the support chamber with a molded leaf spring member connected to the socket and body to provide a leaf spring mounting of the socket. A contact arm is secured to the support member and extends laterally toward the separation wall into operative coupling to at least one of a pair of contact members within the support chamber. A mounting stake or clamp is removably coupled to the support body such as by a slotted connection. The alert chamber has a reduced width and length to correspond to a usual dry cell battery with inclined interconnecting integral molded walls providing a compact, esthetically pleasing outer housing. A battery and coil spring contact is located within the alert chamber. The outer end of the alert chamber is sealed by a cap and lamp having a contact engaging the battery. A contact strip extends from the cap into the support chamber with a depending arm. An arm on the socket engages a contact arm and closes the contacts when the fish pivots the socket.
