  • Movement indicator for fishing rod
    Patent number: 5205061
    Abstract: A movement indicator assembly kit for use with a flexible fishing rod. Light from a light-emitting diode (LED) located adjacent to the inner end of the fishing rod is transmitted by at least one length of optical fiber to a reflector cap at the tip of the rod. In conditions of low visibility (nighttime, dusk or dawn), when a fish bites the light emitted by the reflector cap at the tip of the rod moves about and signals that the bite has occurred. A fishing rod with the movement indicator installed is also disclosed.
