Abstract: The present invention is a fish bite or strike alarm which is attachable to multiple types of rod holders. It alerts the angler of a fish striking or tugging on a baited fishing line. An important feature of the present invention is it not attached to the fishing rod, pole or line in any manner. Like no prior art it is attached to rod holders and extends outward in front of the rod holder. It has a unique fishing rod/pole nest which senses fishing rod/pole pressure exerted by the torsional force of the rod caused by a fish bite/strike activity. The nest cradles the fishing rod or pole and transfers torsional movement from the fishing rod or pole and activates a switch by compression force. When the switch is compressed to the actuation point, a standard battery power source signal is sent to any number of alerts devices such as a pizeo sounder, light emitting diodes LED's, wireless remote embodiments containing but not limited to piezo sounders, LED's, vibrators, and voice programmable audio alerts.
