Claims6
A fish set line comprising:
- a housing for enclosing the fish set line;
- a first line being an attachment line including a first attachment line end, and a second attachment line end, wherein the first attachment line end is attached with the housing;
- an attachment means attached with the second attachment line end for attaching the fish set line with a fixed structure to secure the fish set line;
- a swivel, a leverage screw, and an upper shaft wherein the upper shaft is attached with the housing, and the leverage screw attaches through the upper shaft and through a first eye of the swivel, and a second eye of the swivel attaches with the attachment line such that the swivel is disposed between the housing and the attachment means, whereby the swivel maintains horizontal alignment of the fish set line;
- a motion activated light means including a case, a push on and release off switch, a wiring circuit, a battery, and a light wherein the case, the switch, the wiring circuit, the battery, and the light are operationally connected such that the light is illuminated while pressure is maintained on the switch and wherein the motion activated light means is attached with the inside of the housing and the motion activated light means is operationally connected with the leverage screw wherein a fish pulls on the hook, the hook pulls on the hook line, the hook line pulls on the hook line shaft, the hook line shaft pulls on the housing, the housing pulls on the upper shaft, the upper shaft turns from the leverage screw from the attachment line and the swivel allowing the leverage screw to rotate such that leverage screw contacts the switch and activates the light whereby the motion activated light means will detect motion related to fish engagement verses wave action from the water and alert the fisherman of a fish catch;
- a fish hook;
- a second line being a hook line including a first end of the hook line wherein the first hook line end is attached to the fish hook;
- a weight attached with the hook line near the hook whereby the weight weights the line down in the water;
- a hook line shaft attached with the housing means wherein a second end of the hook line attaches with the hook line shaft;
- and
- a locking crank means attached with the hook line shaft such that the locking crank means reels in the hook line and secures the hook line in place.

A fish set line comprising:
- a housing for enclosing the fish set line;
- a first line being an attachment line including a first attachment line end, and a second attachment line end, wherein the first attachment line end is attached with the housing;
- a clip attached with the second attachment line end for attaching the fish set line with a fixed structure to secure the fish set line;
- a swivel and an upper shaft wherein the upper shaft is attached with the housing and the swivel attaches with a first eye of the swivel, and a second eye of the swivel attaches with the attachment line such that the swivel is disposed between the housing and the clip, whereby the swivel maintains horizontal alignment of the fish set line;
- a motion activated light means including a case, a switch, a wiring circuit, a battery, and a light wherein the case, the switch, the wiring circuit, the battery, and the light are operationally connected such that the light is illuminated when motion is detected by the switch and wherein the motion activated light means is attached with the inside of the housing and the motion activated light means is operationally connected with the housing wherein a fish pulls on the hook, the hook pulls on the hook line, the hook line pulls on the hook line shaft, the hook line shaft pulls on the housing, the housing moves the switch and activates the light whereby the motion activated light means detects motion related to fish engagement verses wave action from the water and alert the fisherman of a fish catch;
- a fish hook;
- a second line being a hook line including a first end of the hook line wherein the first hook line end is attached to the fish hook;
- a weight attached with the hook line near the hook whereby the weight weights the line down in the water;
