ABSTRACT:
A fish-bite indicator has a rotary part which is engaged by a fishing line when the indicator is in use, such that longitudinal movement of the fishing line causes the rotary part to rotate. Sensor means are provided to produce a signal for every rotation or part rotation of the rotary part. A counter is connected to the sensor means and constructed to issue an indicator signal in dependence upon each signal or each given count of signals it receives from the sensor means, the counter being constructed so that the number of each given count is alterable. A manually adjustable member is connected to the counter to enable that count to be altered thereby to enable the sensitivity of the indicator to be varied. The invention also extends to a fish-bite indicator comprising a housing having wall means which define (a) a sealed interior of the housing and (b) an enclosure immediately adjacent to the sealed interior. A rotary part is mounted within the enclosure so as to be rotatable therein and has at least one permanent magnet. A magnetic-field sensor is positioned within the sealed interior adjacent to the enclosure, so that rotation of the rotary part by a fishing line when the indicator is in use alters the condition of the magnetic-field sensor to generate a signal indicative of a fish-bite.
