Abstract

An indicator assembly for use with a fishing rod and line for bottom fishing. The indicator assembly is comprised of an indicator body having a pair of opposed indicator couplers and a channel formed though the indicator body such that openings for the channel are perpendicular to the indicator couplers. The channel has a diameter greater than that of a second and third eyelet of the fishing rod such that the line positioned inside the eyelets and channel when pulled taught forms a straight line. A rod coupler is affixed to the fishing rod by way of a pair of holders and positioned ideally between the second and third eyelets of the fishing rod. The rod and indicator couplers are rare earth magnets of opposite poles, or ferrous magnets or combinations of magnets and magnetic materials. An indicator kit and a method of use are also described.

Dependent claims

A strike indicator assembly for use with a fishing rod having a terminal eyelet, a second eyelet and a third eyelet all in spaced apart relationship, and each eyelet having an eyelet height, the strike indicator comprising:

an indicator body having an exterior surface with two opposed sides in spaced apart relationship;
a channel having a channel diameter formed into the indicator body;
at least one indicator coupler having an outer face, the indicator coupler affixed to the exterior surface of one of the two opposed sides;
a rod coupler having a first end, an opposed second end, a back side and an opposed outermost surface sized and shaped to couple with the outer face of the indicator coupler;
and
a holder fastening the rod coupler to the fishing rod;
wherein the rod coupler is at least one of a magnet or a magnetic metallic material;
wherein the indicator coupler is at least one of a magnet or magnetic metallic material;
wherein if the rod coupler and indicator coupler are both magnets, the rod coupler magnet has an opposite polarity to the indicator magnet;
and
wherein if one of the rod coupler and the indicator coupler is a magnetic metallic material, the remaining coupler is a magnet.
