ABSTRACT:
A fishing pole which is automatically illuminated when a fish strikes the fishing line. The fishing pole includes a handle in which is provided a light bulb and a power source. The rod projecting from the handle either includes a hollow core or is provided with fiber optics which internally pass or externally wrap along the length of the rod. When a sensor mounted at the tip of the rod senses a fish strike on the fishing line, the light bulb is caused to light up and project light into the hollow core or fiber optics to cause the rod to be illuminated along its length. The fishing pole also includes a second light bulb integrated into the bottom portion of the handle which can be switched on by a fisherperson to function as a flashlight.
