Abstract: A fish bite indicator utilizes a line retainer coupled to a pivot arm and configured to rotate to bring a pair of electrical contacts into contact with a circuit contact to complete a circuit and activate an indicator light and/or indicator speaker. An indicator speaker may produce a factory set alert sound or a recorded alert sound that a user records to distinguish one fishing pole from another. A user may insert the fishing line a desired amount down into the line wedge seam and the depth of insertion may change when the line is released upon the pivoting of the pivot arm. The fish bite indicator may have a drag knob to change how much line tension is required to move the pivot arm and may have a sensitivity knob that adjusts how far the pivot arm has to rotate before the indicator is activated.
Abstract: A fishing rod stand assembly utilizes a fishing rod support configured to retained by a fishing rod support tripod. The fishing rod support comprises a shaft that extends from an insert end to a yolk end having a Y-shaped yoke to retain a fishing rod therein. The fishing rod support tripod has a leg hub and an arm hub configured to receive the fishing rod support shaft. The leg hub and/or the arm hub have flanges that are configured to flex radially outward to receive and retain the shaft which enables insertion of various diameter shafts. Three legs extend out from the leg hub and support arms extend from the arm hub to support arm couplings coupled with each of the legs. The tripod has a pair of fixed legs and an angle adjustable leg that can be pivoted about the leg hub and be retained in an offset angle for placement on uneven surfaces.
