FISHING POLE FISH BITE DETECTOR AND ALERTING DEVICE

摘要

A device is which alerts a fisher of a pull on the line (typically caused by a fish bite) is disclosed. The device includes a triggering arm pivotally mounted and placed between two contacts with fishing line placed under the arm. The arm acts to electrically isolate the two contacts when placed between them. The device may include a power source and one or more switches for an audible and/or visual alarm. The two contacts are part of the electrical circuit and complete the circuit when they touch. If a fish bites, the tension on the line will cause the upward movement of the non-conductive arm, allowing the contacts to touch and close the circuit to cause an alert that may be audible and/or visual.

主权项

1. An apparatus for signaling movement of a fishing line caused by the pull of a fish, comprising
a base; a triggering arm pivotally mounted to the base and moveable between a first open position, and a second closed position wherein the triggering arm extends between a first contact and a second contact to electrically isolate the first contact and the second contact, a space for receiving the fishing line formed between the triggering arm and the base when the triggering arm is the second closed position; and an electrical circuit comprising an electrical source, the first contact and second contact, and one or more signal generators, the electrical circuit being configured to activate at least one of the one or more signal generators when the triggering arm is moved from the second closed position to the first open position.
