Abstract
The fish strike alarm system has a flexible line for connecting between a pull actuated switch on an alarm indicator and the end of a fishing pole that is set in a flexed position by its attachment with a down rigger arrangement. The connection to the fishing pole is adjusted to be released by the fishing pole as it straightens due to a fish disturbing the bait and causing the fishing line to release from the down rigger arrangement.
Claims10
A system to issue an alarm when a fish strikes a bait on a fishing pole, comprising:
- alarm indicator means, including switch means, for issuing a predetermined signal when actuated;
- attachment means for retaining said alarm indicator means in a predetermined location relative to a user;
- flexible line means having a predetermined length extending between a first end and a second end, said second end being attached to said alarm indicator means;
- said second end of said flexible line means is connected to said switch means;
- and
- releasable means for connecting said first end of said flexible line means to the end of a fishing pole furthermost from a user when said fishing pole is flexed in a set position;
- so that when a fish strikes and said fishing pole straightens from said set position, said switch means actuates said alarm indicator means to issue said predetermined signal.
A system to issue an alarm when a fish strikes a bait on a fishing pole, comprising:
- alarm indicator means including housing means enclosing speaker means, battery means and switch means connected for issuing a predetermined signal when actuated;
- attachment means for retaining said alarm indicator means in a predetermined location relative to a user;
- flexible line means having a predetermined length extending between a first end and a second end, said second end being attached to said alarm indicator means;
- and
- releasable means for connecting said first end of said flexible line means to the end of a fishing pole furthermost from a user when said fishing pole is flexed in a set position;
- whereby when a fish strikes and said fishing pole straightens from said set position, said flexible line means actuates said alarm indicator means to issue said predetermined signal.
A system to issue an alarm when a fish disturbs a fishing line, comprising:
- alarm indicator means for issuing a predetermined signal when actuated, including attaching means for retaining said alarm indicator means in a predetermined location;
- said alarm indicator means includes a pull chain switch that is toggled off and on when pulled to control said predetermined signal;
- flexible line means having a predetermined length extending from said alarm indicator means to a point adjacent an end of a fishing pole that is flexed;
- said length of said flexible line means is adjustable;
- and
- connector means attached to said flexible line means for connecting an end of said flexible line means releasibly to said fishing pole;
- whereby said flexible line means can be pulled when said flexed fishing pole is released by a fish, and the pull of the released flexible line means actuates said alarm indicator means.
