ABSTRACT:
A fishing rod holder comprises a tubular holder adapted to have the handle of a fishing rod retained therein. A flexible support member is disposed in the holder to extend in diverging relationship towards the forward end of the holder and has a rearward end thereof secured to a bottom wall of the holder. A normally open switch comprising first and second electrical contacts mounted on the holder and the support member, respectively, is adapted to close upon downward flexing of the support member relative to the holder when the weight of a fish is imposed on the fishing rod. The contacts are connected to a battery, buzzer and light to alert a fisherman when a fish is caught.
