Abstract
A bite indicating fishing light clips on a fishing rod and has upper and lower hooks projecting from it substantially parallel to the rod through which the fishing line passes so that bite produced tension on the line pulls the hooks into contact lighting the light. A longitudinally sliding switch button flexes one hook toward the other to turn on the light and to set the light's sensitivity to line tension. The lower hook has a base extending through a casing to form a bulb holding clip at the end of the casing remote from the hooks and the upper hook extends into the casing to form a battery contact at the end of the casing disposed toward the hooks. The casing is formed in two longitudinal halves one of which is hinged to the other on a downward and longitudinally bent pin formed from the base of the lower hook.
