Abstract: A fishing alarm system for use with a fishing line which moves when disturbed by a fish utilizes an alarm device and two electrical contacts which are moveable toward and away from one another between an initial condition at which a circuit between the alarm device and a power source is made and a spaced-apart condition at which a circuit between the alarm device and the power source is broken. In addition, the contacts are biased from the spaced-apart condition toward the initial condition so that by inserting a section of the fishing line between the two contacts, the contacts are moved away from one another and held at the spaced-apart condition by the fishing line section positioned between the pair of electrical contacts. Upon removal of the fishing line from between the contacts, the contacts are permitted to return toward the initial condition at which a circuit is made between the alarm device and the power source.
