ABSTRACT:
A lightweight, portable fish strike indicator for use with a fishing rod to provide a visible indication of the movement of the rod tip especially during low ambient light conditions. The fish strike indicator includes a high intensity light source, which transmits light through an optical fiber to the tip portion of a fishing rod. The motion of the tip during and after a fish strike are translated in to a visible light trace whose arc length and oscillation frequency are proportional to the force of the strike and provides an indication whether the fish has been hooked. The high intensity light source along with the optical fiber extending to the tip of the rod can be easily attached to or removed from the outer surface of the shaft of a fishing rod, or may be imbedded inside the shaft as a more permanent accessory.
