ABSTRACT:
A fish strike detector for use on flexible fishing rods to detect and notify the angler that a fish is striking the bait located at the end of his or her fishing line. Light from a light bulb partially enclosed in a housing body is activated when the fishing rod is flexed from fish striking at the bait. The housing body, removably attached to a rigid vertical member attached to the fishing rod, houses an electrical circuit and power supply. A portion of the electrical circuit extends outside the casing body. A rigid horizontal member is attached to the fishing rod on one side of the vertical member. When a fish strikes the bait, the flexible fishing rod bends downward, causing the contact member to apply pressure to the portion of the electrical circuit extending outside the housing and complete the electrical circuit to activate the light.
