ABSTRACT:
The utility signal device is adapted for use adjacent a body of water to resiliently support an end portion of a fishing rod thereon. The signal device comprises a housing having opposite ends and a chamber formed therein with a battery positioned in the chamber. A buzzer is mounted in the chamber and is electrically connected to the battery. A fishing rod holder is movably mounted in one end of the housing and is adapted to support an end portion of the fishing rod thereon. The fishing rod holder has a buzzer activator secured thereto which extends into the housing and which is movable into position to complete a circuit with the battery and the buzzer in response to a force on the end portion of the fishing rod. A pair of lights are provided on the housing on opposite sides of the fishing rod holder whereby the light housings provide a lateral restraint for the fishing rod. A three-way switch is movably mounted in the housing and is electrically connected to the lights and buzzer to permit the selective activation of either of the lights. One of the lights also is simultaneously eliminated when the buzzer is activated. A pair of ground stakes are removably stored within the housing and may be secured to the base of the housing to support the housing during fishing operations. Alternately, the four-way switch is provided to permit selective activation of the buzzer or one light through a rod actuated switch, or activation of either of said lights.
