FISHING ROD MOTION INDICATOR WITH VISUAL AND AUDIBLE FEATURES

摘要

An indicator is provided for detecting the motion of a fishing line on a fishing rod, and wherein the indicator is comprised of: a housing configured for mounting on a fishing rod, the housing having affixed thereto a rotatable wheel guide means, the outer edge of which has grooved means to engage the fishing line, and wherein at least a portion of the wheel means is composed of a magnetically detectable metal; a hollow detachable cylinder slidably mounted in the housing and disposed so that the center axis of the cylinder is essentially parallel to that of the rod, the cylinder containing a power supply and motion sensing means, the sensing means being located off center from the axis of the cylinder; the cylinder being rotatable about its axis whereby the motion sensing means is brought within sufficient proximity to the wheel guide means that any motion of the wheel is detectable and wherein the sensing means actuates both audable and visual signals to signify motion of the wheel guide means.
