ABSTRACT:
A strike indicator for simple and direct mounting to a flexible fishing pole which is held in a mount at a predetermined angle after casting. The indicator has an elongated hollow elongated casing and a circuit board is supported lengthwise in the casing. A mercury switch is fixed at a predetermined angle on the board, which also has battery contacts receiving disc type batteries as self-contained power. A buzzer and/or lamp is supported by the casing at its exterior and connected to the battery contacts through the mercury switch. An access cap on an end of the casing provides for installation/removal of batteries. At the bottom of the casing spaced apart grommet caddies, aligned along an axis parallel to the bottom, hold annular compressible grommets for engaging around a fishing pole to support the casing on the pole. The grommet caddies include openable sections for installation and substitution of different sized grommets. The casing is an integral molded water-tight part and the cap, switch and indicator structure are provided with gaskets where they protrude through the casing, thus the circuit board and battery compartment are sealed within the casing.
