Abstract

A floatable fishing device comprising a float and fishing lamps to indicate catches of fish on hooks associated with the device. A pair of pendulum operated switches actuate two lamps, of different colors, depending on the direction of the swinging of the pendulum when the float is inclined by the pull of caught fish. The float is provided with a guide rod. A ring secured to the free end of a fishing line is slidable on the guide rod. A plurality of hooks are attached to the fishing line in spaced relationship. The device permits the fisherman to fish at a remote distance.
