ABSTRACT:
An illuminated handle is provided for a fishing rod, a gig, a gaff, a net and an oar. The illuminated handle includes a light transmitting hollow tubular handle having a florescent lamp inside to illuminate the area around a user. The handle includes a screw threaded end providing access to a carrier slidably received in the handle. The carrier provides a battery, a ballast for starting the florescent lamp and a pair of exposed contacts. A switch extends through the handle engages the contacts and either closes or opens the contacts to turn the lamp off and on. In one embodiment, the carrier resides along a mid-plane of the handle providing a storage compartment between the carrier and the top side of the handle. In one embodiment, a rod tip illuminator is attached to the tip end of the fishing rod and includes a light emitting diode, one or more batteries and a switch.
