Bite detector for fishing

A fish bite detector for use on a flexible fishing rod, said detector comprising:

• an electronic circuit enclosed in a housing consisting of an elongated, hollow, cylindrical casing for receiving at least one battery power source, said housing having a top, a bottom, opposite sides and opposite ends and at least one bracket for mounting said housing to a fishing pole;
• said electronic circuit comprising an integrated circuit timer chip connected to said power source, means for sensing vibrational movement of the fishing pole comprising a pair of electrical contacts moveable relative to each other wherein at least one member one member of said electrical contact pair is a helical spring and the other member of said electrical contact pair is positioned centrally and longitudinally within the interior of said spring, said circuit further including an alarm, said alarm comprising a light emitting diode and a piezoelectric buzzer;
• whereupon activation of the circuit, the alarm signals and the circuit resets itself after a predetermined time.

A fish bite detector integrally disposed within a flexible fishing rod, comprising:

• a rod having a handle, a shaft and rod tip, said handle positioned at one end of the shaft and the rod tip positioned on the shaft at the other end, said detector comprising an electronic circuit enclosed in said handle, said circuit comprising an integrated circuit timer chip connected to an battery power source, means for sensing vibrational movement of the fishing rod comprising a pair of electrical contacts positioned at the tip end of said rod, said contacts being moveable relative to each other wherein at least one member of said pair of electrical contacts is a resilient helical wire spring positioned within a cavity comprising the other member of said electrical contact pair and further including an alarm means disposed within said handle,
• whereupon activation of the circuit, the alarm signals and the circuit resets itself after a predetermined time.
