ABSTRACT:
An invention for use by an angler, while fishing, to indicate when a fish is either caught on the hook, or is nibbling on the bait. The invention utilizes a detachable clamping mechanism which may be affixed at selected locations along the length of the fishing rod. A visual indicator rod (12) is housed within a slide tube (8) which conceals approximately one half of the indicator rod. The fishing line is passed through a spiral line guide (14). An adjusting clip (6) provides the proper alignment of the visual indicator rod (12). Once the proper alignment is achieved, the angler casts to the desired location and places the fishing rod in a support. A small amount of slack is then introduced into the fishing line. When a fish tugs on the line the slack is thereby removed causing the visual indicator rod (12) to be elevated thereby exposing the brightly colored portion of the rod previously concealed by slide tube (8). This alerts the angler to the bite. The angler may then set the hook and retrieve the fish.
