ABSTRACT:
The disclosed optionally lighted fishing pole has a portable source of light held relative to the pole proximate its handle, with a operable on-off switch. A continuous light-transmitting element is extended axially along the pole body from the handle toward the pole tip. The light source has reflective and lens structures directing light axially into the light-transmitting element proximate the handle for transmission along the length of the element and illumination of the exterior circumferential surface of the element. The illuminated exterior circumferential surface of the lighted light-transmitting element is visible from lateral proximity of the fishing pole, for improved fishing during darkness. The light-transmitting element can be mounted externally of the pole body, or internally of a hollow pole body that is also formed of transparent or translucent material.
