ABSTRACT:
A fishing alarm is used with a fishing rod and reel and includes a case clamped to the rod. An alarm circuit is mounted to the case and includes, in series, first and second signal contacts, a light and buzzer combination, a battery, and an enabling switch. The first signal contact includes a pair of recessed contact elements positioned between outwardly extending support surfaces. The second signal contact includes a pair of protruding, movable contact elements spring biased towards the recessed contact elements. The recessed and protruding contact elements are sized and positioned so to complete the circuit when engaged. When the fishing line is placed between the support surfaces and the protruding contact elements, the protruding and recessed contact elements are kept separated. When a fish bites, the line tension increases to pull the line from between the contacts to permit the light and buzzer to operate. Since the fishing line only touches one of the two contact elements, false alarms from a wet line are eliminated.
