Abstract
A fishing rod rest and bite signalling device includes a helically coiled spring upstanding from a casing which carries a forked member at its top end for supporting a fishing rod. A contact disc is supported on a post adjacent the spring, so that the spring is bent by a bite on the fishline to engage the disc. The casing includes a buzzer and a lamp which are selectively placed in a battery circuit including the spring and disc contact arrangement by a selector switch. An alternate embodiment forked member has intersecting channels for holding a pair of crossed fishing rods.
