An ice fishing device has a support dimensioned to overlie a hole through the ice of a predetermined maximum cross sectional area with a tubular post extending through it with a central portion thereof connected thereto. A shaft extends through the post with a holder fixed on the upper end thereof and a reel axially connected to the lower end thereof. A resilient mast is attached to the support and has a free end in the form of a rod to be held by the holder. The holder has an end wall extending laterally of the shaft and is vertical when the device is in use. The holder has a retaining wall disposed to overlie the rod when manually positioned thereunder then to be resiliently held substantially at the junction of the two walls until a fish taking the bait, exerts a pull on the line causing the shaft to turn with the end wall camming the rod free of the holder.
