ABSTRACT:
A fish strike detector has an arm that is mounted to an electrical actuator switch. A fishing line is looped over the arm. A slight increase in the force in the line is sufficient to displace the arm and thereby actuate the switch to close an electrical circuit. The circuit includes visual and audio indicators that signal a fisherman of the strike on his line. The electrical circuit is enclosed in a case that is releaseably connected to a location most suitable for the application. The toggle of the actuator switch is adapted to removeably mount a variety of interchangeable actuator arms. The present invention is suitable for use with ice fishing tip-ups. In that application, the tip-up mast the actuator arm are connected by tubes placed over the free ends of the mast and arm; the tubes are joined by a flexible string. Releasing the mast by a strike tightens the string to displace the actuator arm.
