Bite signalling attachment for ice fishing pole

摘要

An elongated spring structure is attached to the outer end of a fishing rod with the elongated spring structure projecting endwise outwardly of the rod. The outer end of the spring structure defines a transverse line guide eye directed laterally outwardly of one side of the spring structure and the outer end of the rod includes a transverse line guide eye directed laterally outwardly of the same side of the rod. The elongated spring structure is readily deflectable as a result of a lateral force being directed against the outer end thereof to bend the spring structure across the outer end of the rod outwardly thereof and into position with the eye of the spring structure spaced substantially right angularly outwardly of the eye carried by the outer end of the rod. The light construction of the spring structure enables the latter to support a short length of fishing line extending downwardly therefrom and through a hole in the ice with the spring structure only slightly deflected. Accordingly, even the slightest pull on the line by a fish nibbling at a baited hook at the lower end of the line will cause the outer end of the spring structure to vibrate up and down in a readily visual manner.
