ABSTRACT:
A line-actuated fishing rod light includes an electrically conductive bracket, a battery therein, a threaded-base, bulb, and a spring wire trigger arm coiled to provide a socket for the bulb and extending beyond the socket to form a trigger finger. A fishing line is wrapped around the finger and, upon a fish strike, pulls the arm and socket toward a battery terminal. The bulb lights on contact of its terminal with the battery, through the circuit provided by the battery's rear terminal, a rear wall of the bracket, the bracket, the spring wire arm, the coil socket, and the bulb base. The line disengages from the trigger arm upon playing the fish, so that the light does not interfere with the line during such time. Also, the bulb can be rotated into and out of the coil socket to adjust the light's sensitivity to differing forces exerted on the line.
