ABSTRACT:
A fish strike indicator apparatus, which is used with a fishing line, includes a main body portion which includes a top end, a mid-portion, and a bottom end. The bottom end includes a support groove for receiving a fishing line. A first balance arm is connected to the top end of the main body portion and projects transversely therefrom. The first balance arm includes a first balance groove located at a distal end of the first balance arm. A second balance arm is connected to the top end of the main body portion and projects transversely therefrom in a direction opposite to the first balance arm. The second balance arm includes a second balance groove located at a distal end of the second balance arm. A fallen-indicator receiver can be located under the main body portion to provide an audible signal when a fish strike occurs. In an alternative embodiment, the main body portion can include a balance-arm-supporting portion which supports the first balance arm and the second balance arm and can include a support-groove-rotation assembly connected to a bottom end of the balance-arm-supporting portion. The support-groove-rotation assembly includes a rotatable adjustment member which includes the support groove at a bottom end of the rotatable adjustment member. A screw connects the adjustment member to the balance-arm-supporting portion. A friction element can be connected between the rotatable adjustment member and the balance-arm-supporting portion.
