  • Patent number: 4523403
    Abstract: A foldable frame receives and supports fishing poles in the usual upwardly-inclined position. One detector on the frame responds to a force applied to any one of the poles, such as a pull on the line carried by the pole, and activates a bell signal accordingly. Other detectors respond to forces on individual poles, respectively, and activate light signals. The latter signals remain activated (after the force is no longer present) until reset.
