The utility signal device is adapted for use adjacent a body of water to resiliently support an end portion of a fishing rod thereon. The signal device comprises a housing having opposite ends and a chamber formed therein with a battery positioned in the chamber. A buzzer is mounted in the chamber and is electrically connected to the battery. A fishing rod holder is movably mounted in one end of the housing and is adapted to support an end portion of the fishing rod thereon. The fishing rod holder has a buzzer activator secured thereto which extends into the housing and which is movable into position to complete a circuit with the battery and the buzzer in response to a force on the end portion of the fishing rod. A pair of lights are provided on the housing on opposite sides of the fishing rod holder whereby the light housings provide a lateral restraint for the fishing rod. A three-way switch is movably mounted in the housing and is electrically connected to the lights and buzzer to permit the selective activation of either of the lights. One of the lights also is simultaneously eliminated when the buzzer is activated. A pair of ground stakes are removably stored within the housing and may be secured to the base of the housing to support the housing during fishing operations. Alternately, the four-way switch is provided to permit selective activation of the buzzer or one light through a rod actuated switch, or activation of either of said lights.

A fishing chair comprising a pair of inverted U-shaped, two-legged folding leg sections wherein one leg of each section is pivotally secured to one leg of the other section. A collapsible seat member is carried by the upper ends of the leg sections. The connected legs are in substantially parallel adjacent relationship with each other when in a folded position and are angularly positioned relative to each other and to a supporting surface when opened. A rigid tackle box including a bottom section and a lid hingedly secured thereto is detachably secured between the legs of one of the leg sections. A pair of pins removably extend through the legs of the said one leg section and are received by openings formed in opposite ends of the lid. Each of the pins comprises an elongated shank portion which extends through the leg and into the lid. Each of the pins also includes an arcuate clip portion extending from the outer end of the shank portion which yieldably engages the leg to detachably maintain the pin in position.
