Abstract
Disclosed is a float with light indicators. The float is provided therein with a green and a red lights, batteries, a contact switch, and loadstone holder connected at a lower end to a fishhook holder that downward extends out of the float to connect a fishhook. When the float is stably floating on a water surface, the fishhook holder and the loadstone holder are in a higher position in the float to cause the contact switch to lighten the green light indicator, and when a fish bites the fishhook and thereby causes the fishhook holder and the loadstone holder to move downward, the contact switch is caused to lighten the red light indicator. An angler may easily determine whether a fish is hooked from the lightened red indicator and timely pulls the fishing rod.
