ABSTRACT:
An ice fishing device including a tubular body with suspension arms movable to project radially from the upper end of the body for supporting the body in an ice fishing hole with a lower, major portion of the body submerged. The lower end of the body forms a spool holding a fishing line which can be pulled off the spool with very little force. The bottom end of the body has an opening which is normally closed (to exclude water from the interior of the body) by a float attached to the fishing line near to the hook end, the float being fairly small so that when a fish takes the hook the float is pulled away from the opening to admit water into the body, without imposing any jerking on the line which would be noticeable to the fish. A buoyant member inside the body is attached by a rod to indicating means which normally rests on the top end of the tubular body, and when the removal of the float allows water to enter the body the buoyant member rises and thus lifts the indicating means to a position where it can easily be noticed.
