ABSTRACT:
A hook setting apparatus which supports a fishing rod and is triggered responsive to the fish jerking on the bait secured to the rod through a fishing line. The apparatus includes a support member disposed in the substantially upright position which pivotally carries on its end portion a second member which supports a rod holder. A spring assembly biases the second member in a predetermined pivotal direction for setting the hook in the fish's mouth. A trigger assembly which is mounted on the support member maintains a second member in a predetermined pivotal position by counteracting the forces applied to the second member by the tension spring assembly. The trigger assembly releases the second member responsive to a fish jerking on the fishing pole such that the tension spring assembly thereby sets the hook in the fish's mouth. The force required to trigger the device can be adjusted such that fishes of various sizes will activate the device.
