Abstract:
A fish strike signal apparatus which is releasably secured to a fishing pole, which comprises: an alarm circuit housing releasably secured to a handle of the fishing pole, the alarm circuit housing having electronic circuitry disposed within to operatively connect a microphone adapted to pick up a distinct analog voice signal, the distinct analog voice signal is then converted to a digital alarm signal by a processing circuit built into the electronic circuitry, and the digital alarm signal is then stored in a memory buffer located within the electronic circuitry, and said digital alarm signal is subsequently converted to an analog alarm signal which is amplified by the electronic circuitry to drive a speaker upon actuation of an alarm sensor, said alarm sensor is responsive to a primary sensor wire and a secondary sensor wire forming electrical contacts which are drawn together upon the increased tension on a fishing line extending from said fishing pole during a fish strike to complete the electronic circuitry and actuate a distinct audible alarm.
