ABSTRACT:
In this apparatus for ice fishing, an upright grease tube is extendable through a hole in the ice. A trio of equispaced legs, pivotally mounted at their upper extremities, is mounted upon a circular sleeve. The legs circumscribe the grease tube and are slidably related relative thereto for spanning the ice hole in the extended position and are slidable lengthwise of the grease tube for spanning the ice surface when the grease tube is withdrawn. Apertured end caps at the opposite ends of the grease tube retain a charge of grease therewithin. An operating rod is extendable through the grease tube and the end caps and outboard thereof at each end of the grease tube. A reel support projects from and is secured relative to the grease tube. A payout reel is rotatively mounted on the reel support for reeling a fish line. A projection extends outwardly from the inboard face of the payout reel and contacts the operating rod as the reel is rotated upon the pull of a fish. The rotation of the operating rod releases a signal means at the upper end of the operating rod.
