A fishing line indication device includes a pair of identically shaped body sections that are secured together along a top end by a connector. The body sections include front ends and bottom ends that are selectively engaged to receive a fishing line. A plurality of markings are positioned along the outside surfaces of the first and second body sections. The front ends have a curvilinear shape and the bottom ends have a round shape. The round and curvilinear shapes rotate the first and second body sections along a fishing pole to which the fishing line is attached.

An apparatus for detecting and signaling a disturbance of fishing gear while ice fishing may include an elongated base for positioning above an ice fishing hole, with a channel having opposing sides being located on the base for receiving a portion of the bobber, and a disturbance detecting assembly for detecting a disturbance of the fishing gear when a fish engages with the fishing gear. The detecting assembly may comprise a movable flap for releasably holding the portion of the bobber in the channel, and a detection switch in communication with the flap such that movement of the flap in at least one direction causes the detection switch to be actuated. The apparatus may also include an alerting assembly for signaling that the disturbance detecting assembly has detected a disturbance of the fishing gear.

A fish strike notification device includes a detection signal acquisition unit, a vibration generator and a vibration instructor. The detection signal acquisition unit is configured to acquire a detection signal that is output from a sensor configured to detect vibration generated by at least one detection target that includes a fishing reel and a fishing rod. The vibration generator is attachable to a user and configured to generate vibrations. The vibration instructor is configured to output a vibration instruction signal to cause the vibration generator to generate the vibrations based on the detection signal acquired by the detection signal acquisition unit.

A handle operation assist device includes a handle angular velocity measuring unit, an error calculator and a notification unit. The handle angular velocity measuring unit is configured to measure a handle angular velocity based on an output of a sensor configured to detect an angular velocity corresponding to rotation of a fishing reel handle. The error calculator is configured to calculate an error in the handle angular velocity with respect to a reference angular velocity. The notification unit is configured to carry out notification regarding the error.

A fishing alert assembly for alerting a fisherman to a fish on a fishing pole includes a fishing pole and a cylinder that is removably coupled to the fishing pole. The cylinder is positioned on an opposite side of the fishing pole with respect to a fishing line thereby inhibiting the cylinder from engaging the fishing line. A plurality of bells is provided and each of the bells is positioned within the cylinder. Each of the bells rings when the cylinder is agitated to emit an audible alert when a fish tugs on the fishing pole.

An ice fishing tip-up device is disclosed that provides an improved, retractable ice fishing tip-up device that allows the user to fish hands-free. The ice fishing tip-up device comprises a base component that supports a wheel component. The wheel component is secured to the base component, such that the wheel component can rotate on the base component during use. The wheel component supports a fishing line and allows a user to retract the fishing line gently while the fish remains on the line to prevent line breaks. Generally, the user retracts the fishing line via a handle secured to the wheel component, which allows the wheel component to rotate.

The strike indicator includes a float formed from a plurality of sealed air enclosures, each of the plurality of sealed air enclosures including an outer membrane, each of the plurality of sealed air enclosures being entirely offset from the center of the float. The strike indicator also includes a line attachment device configured to secure a fishing line therein, the line attachment device being attached to the float and located in a center of the float between the plurality of sealed air enclosures. The line attachment device includes a threaded bolt having an L-shaped or V-shaped notch formed in its shaft, wherein a fishing line can be inserted in the notch to secure the strike indicator to the fishing line.
