Abstract: An indicator assembly for use with a fishing rod and line for bottom fishing. The indicator assembly is comprised of an indicator body having a pair of opposed indicator couplers and a channel formed though the indicator body such that openings for the channel are perpendicular to the indicator couplers. The channel has a diameter greater than that of a second and third eyelet of the fishing rod such that the line positioned inside the eyelets and channel when pulled taught forms a straight line. A rod coupler is affixed to the fishing rod by way of a pair of holders and positioned ideally between the second and third eyelets of the fishing rod. The rod and indicator couplers are rare earth magnets of opposite poles, or ferrous magnets or combinations of magnets and magnetic materials. An indicator kit and a method of use are also described.
