ABSTRACT:
An ice fishing apparatus including a pedestal adapted to be supported on an ice surface surrounding a fishing hole therein; a reel retained by the pedestal and adapted to retain fishing line to be used in water below the ice surface; and a standard retained by the pedestal means and adapted for movement between an extended signalling position and a retracted armed position. Also included is an actuator assembly operatively coupled between the standard and the reel and adapted for automatic operation by movement of the reel to induce movement of the standard from its retracted position to its extended position. The actuator comprises an elongated, open ended tube; a first end cap secured to the pedestal and press fitted into one open end of the tube; a second end cap secured to the pedestal and press fitted into an opposite open end of the tube; each of the end caps defining an opening aligned with said tube; and a rotatable shaft extending through the elongated tube and the openings in the first and second end caps, the shaft including an actuated portion disposed to be engaged by the reel in response to movement thereof and to thereby produce rotation of the shaft, and an actuator portion disposed to engage and move the standard into its extended position in response to rotation of the shaft. The tube aligns and protects the rotatable shaft while the end caps efficiently support the tube.
