Abstract: The present invention relates to an ice fishing indicator device and in particular to an ice fishing indicator device having an improved trigger and or jigging mechanisms. The device has a housing that holds a can for a candle or heat source. A heat shield protects a power box. The jigging mechanism has a motor, a rotating arm, an offset weight and a jigging arm, wherein a wiggle is produced during operation. A reel assembly has a trigger. The trigger can be mechanical via direct contact or contactless. A reel lug can contact a trigger or pass near a contactless sensor. The trigger can cause a flag to deploy via an electrically controlled flag release. The trigger can also cause a communication device to send a signal. The communication device can be held in a communication box on the interior of the housing.
