ABSTRACT:
An electrical signalling device for a fishing rod holder having an open topped rod support channel spaced forwardly of a rod handle receiving rim portion, includes a switch housing adapted for support on the rod holder, an electrical circuit in the housing including an electrically actuated signal means, a power source and an electrical connection therebetween including a normally open switch, a switch lever adapted for engagement by the handle of a rod supported in the fishing rod holder and bias means urging the lever downwardly whereby the switch is closed in response to upward movement of the switch lever against the urging of the bias means when a fish strikes on the line of the fishing rod. The switch lever may include a depending flange having a pair of downwardly and outwardly flaring inclined contact surfaces so that even lateral forces will result in upward movement of the switch lever to actuate the signalling device. A pair of signalling devices may be electrically interconnected for remote actuation of one device in response to actuation of the other device connected to a rod holder.
The invention also presents a novel fishing rod holder support system and a ground stake extension for universal mounting of the rod holder and signalling device.
