Abstract
An indicator assembly for attachment to a fishing rod, which assembly gives a positive, visual indication of a fish bite. The assembly, which may be semi-permanently or permanently mounted on a standard fishing rod, does not in its first, stored position, interfere with the normal use of the rod, being mounted thereon by means which permit conventional use of the rod. The assembly may be placed into use by merely unhooking a weight, which is carried by the mounting means and through which the fishing line is trained, permitting the weight to move, by gravity, from its first position, to a second, use position, spaced from the rod and whereby a portion of the fishing line is drawn away from the rod, the weight, in said second position, being shiftable in response to the bite of a fish on the line, to thereby visually signal said bite.
