ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for providing a visual bite indication comprise a weighted mass having an opening through which a fishing line is loosely threaded so that the weighted mass is suspended upon the line and causes the line to sag when the line is extended for fishing so that tension produced in the line by a bite causes the weighted mass to move as a visual bite indicator. The weighted mass is adapted for being secured to an adjacent eyelet during casting to prevent the weighted mass from interfering with forward passage of the line from the reel. Preferably, the weighted mass and one eyelet are magnetically attractive to each other, the one eyelet either being a fixed portion or adapted for attachment to a pre-existing rod. Multiple embodiments of the adjacent eyelet are disclosed.
