Abstract: A hands-free fishing system with a signaling flag comprising a fishing rod formed of a handle at its lower extent and a cylindrical rod at its upper extent is disclosed. An upper extent of the rod has a region for the receipt of a portion of a bracket. A reel is secured to the handle with a line extending upwardly through the eyelet of the rod and the eyelet of the post and downwardly therefrom to the area being fished. An upwardly extending cylindrical support extends upwardly to receive the lower end of the handle whereby when fishing in a hands-free mode, a fish biting on the line will pull the line to pivot the post and raise the flag as an indicator that a bite has occurred.
