ABSTRACT:
Fish can lightly nibble bait off a hook before a fisherman becomes aware and is able to react by firmly setting the hook in the fish. Apparatus is provided for reacting to a fish lightly nibbling at the bait in a manner sufficient to swiftly jerk the hook thus firmly setting it in the fish. The apparatus may be preset so as to avoid being set off or tripped while being cast out onto the surface of the water. Also, the apparatus may be modified for ice fishing. The preset may be adjusted to varying levels of sensitivity depending upon the type of fish to be caught or the type of bait being used.
