ABSTRACT:
The fishing rod alarm apparatus is designed to provide the user indications of pressure on the line caused by the bite of a fish. The apparatus has a molded housing that contains an alarm system and a power source. The alarm is attached to a primary pin. A metal rod controlled by a magnet is held away from the primary pin when no pressure is maintained on the fishing rod. The metal rod is in normal contact with a secondary pin via a second magnet, and the secondary pin is attached to the power source. When pressure on the fishing line causes the metal rod to come into contact with the primary pin, the circuit is completed and the alarm will sound. As the pressure is increased the metal rod will be pulled away from the secondary pin and magnet which will result in the alarm being silenced. The magnet is positioned on a moveable slide to allow for changes in wind or water conditions such as current. When pressure is released from the line the magnets will return the metal rod to its original position.
