ABSTRACT:
A bite indicator for indicating a bite by a fish on a line of a fishing rod includes an arm that is free to swing upward or downward and a line engagement device secured to the arm for engaging the line. A change in the tension on the line causes the line engagement device to rise or fall as the arm swings upward or downward. The line engagement device includes a body provided with a channel and a pivoting gate that pivots between closed and open positions. In the closed position the gate extends over the channel to form a closed loop with the body that surrounds the line when the bite indicator is in use. In the open position the line is free to move out of the channel. The body is oriented with respect to the arm so that the line tends to open the gate only after the arm swings to an upper position beyond a predetermined level.
