Abstract: A resilient luminous fishing rod clip having a generally U-shaped configuration including legs having confronting surfaces adapted to fit around and shape-matingly engage the outer surface of a circular end ring of a fishing rod. The clip has a circular midportion that occupies more than half a circle and that terminates in outwardly concave reverse bends which in turn terminate in outwardly convex reverse bends that are adapted shape-matingly to embrace such an end ring. Those further reverse bends terminate in further outwardly concave reverse bends that in turn terminate in free ends of the legs. The clip has a generally C-shaped cross section with concave surfaces of said C-shaped cross section adapted shape-matingly to contact such an end ring.
