ABSTRACT:
A fish strike indicator for signaling that a fish is striking or biting when fishing in the dark. The fish strike indicator includes a housing. A resiliently deformable clip extends through the housing for clipping onto a fishing line. The clip has generally J-shaped ends positioned adjacent each other such that a channel is formed therebetween. A width of the channel is less than an outer diameter of the fishing line. The clip is electrically conductive. A light bulb is positioned in the housing and is in electrical communication with the clip. The clip is biased towards a bottom of the housing. A contact member is in electrical communication with a power source and is positioned above the clip such that movement of the fishing line pulls the clip into contact with the contact member thereby closing a circuit and permitting electricity to flow through the light bulb.
