ABSTRACT:
A signal apparatus is used in combination with a fishing rig. The rig includes a substantially upright mast and a normally straight resilient strip. The resilient strip has one end fixed near the top of the mast and another end releasably secured on the mast at a position to bow the mast. The signal apparatus includes a case having a lower cavity sized to receive the top of the mast to support the case. The case has a lateral cavity sized to receive a storage source of electrical energy. A pair of battery terminals is mounted at opposite ends of the lateral cavity. An electrical light is mounted atop the case. A switch is mounted laterally upon the case opposite the lateral cavity. The switch is serially connected with the electrical light and the pair of battery terminals. The switch has a laterally projecting, reciprocatable, electrically isolated actuator for operating the switch to close and open the circuit with the light and the battery terminals. The actuator is positioned to engage the resilient strip when it is secured in a bowed position and to open the circuit. The actuator is operable to close the circuit when the resilient strip is released to a substantially straight condition.
