A fishing pole alarm system for warning of the presence of a fish on the fishing line includes a vertical support such as a tripod, and a detector assembly which is adapted to support the upper end of the fishing rod disposed in inclined fashion with the lower end resting on the ground. The detector assembly includes a channel formed in the upper side thereof and adapted to receive an upper portion of the fishing rod therein. A switch assembly includes a leaf actuator extending into the channel to sense motion of the fishing pole indicative of a fish biting at the baited hook. The switch assembly is connected between a battery power supply and audio and visual indicators to alert the fisherman to set the hook. The detector assembly is secured to the vertical support in pivotable fashion about a horizontal axis, so that the sensitivity of the detector may be selected by varying the proximity of the upper portion of the rod to the leaf actuator, and by selecting which portion of the rod is received in the channel of the detector.
