ABSTRACT:
A jugline fishing float visually indicates to a fisher the location of the float and when a fish has been caught, and is especially suitable for nighttime fishing. The jugline fishing float has a housing with an upper and lower container removably connected to a divider. The divider supports a stage having a circuit board mounted to a platform thereon. A mechanical actuation system is mounted to the underside of the stage. The mechanical actuation system has a contact bar which pivots about a pivot pin. The contact bar is biased against a position indicator contact by a spring attached at one end of the contact bar. A battery supplies energy to actuate a white position indicator lamp in response to the position indicator contact electrically communicating with the contact bar. The indicator lamp signals the position of the jugline fishing float to the fisher. A swivel and leader line are connected to the contact bar such that, when a fish is caught, the contact bar will disconnect from the position indicator contact and connect with a fish indicator contact. Energy from the battery will then be transferred from the position indicator lamp to a green fish indicator lamp. Thus, when a green light is shining, the fisher will be informed that a fish has been caught and the float is to be retrieved.
