ABSTRACT:
A signaling fishing tip-up unit has an upright frame with a base adapted to rest on the ice surrounding a fishing opening. The base has a fishing line-passing opening and a reel, on which a fishing line is wound, is supported on the frame above the opening in the base with the line extending down through the opening in the base to support a bait or lure in the water below the ice. A retainer is on the frame, and an elongate ribbon spring is also mounted on the frame and normally biased to support a signal flag in an upright position. A keeper on the flag is adapted to be received by the retainer, when the ribbon spring is depressed from its upright position, to retain the spring in a ready state of depressed arcuate configuration. A generally horizontally movable trigger, having a ready position and a tripping position, has a line accommodating member on an inner end, through which a slacked laterally displaced portion of the line extends when the trigger is in ready position. The trigger has a trip in alignment with the keeper so that it will relatively displace the keeper and retainer and release the flag to spring upwardly when a fish takes the lure and pulls on the line to pull the trigger toward the opening in the base to tripping position.
