A fishing device for setting a hook in a fish, playing the fish, and indicating that the fish has been hooked. The device comprises a shaft tapering at one end to a tip portion, and having connected thereto at its opposite end an elastic band having an unstretched length sufficient to reach the tip portion but being stretchable to engage the tip portion. A main fishing line is connected to the shaft at a point adjacent to the connection point of the elastic band but in closer proximity to the tip portion. A fish hook supporting line is connected to the elastic band at its tip-engaging portion. The elastic band when stretched to engage the top portion is releasable therefrom by a pull on the fish hook supporting line. When the device is triggered, the elastic band acts to set the hook in the fish and play the fish until retrieved by the fisherman, and the shaft swings backwards and forwards to act as an indicator to the fisherman that the fish has been hooked.
