The fishing tip pole is an ice fishing reel and rod holder that serves as a relatively convenient device when attempting to keep an ice-fishing line in water. Unlike traditional fishing rods and reels, the fishing tip pole has a flag at its end so that it's relatively easy to realize when a fish is striking a lure. The fishing tip pole has various settings for a relatively small strike or a relatively strong strike, providing relatively easy warning for those wearing thick gloves which tend to diminish the vibrations normally felt on a fishing line during warm weather fishing. The fishing tip pole may be readily available at renowned fishing supply retailers. The fishing tip pole is designed with an illuminating tape for night use which helps to locate the end of the fishing rod. The feature of a fishing pole with illuminating capabilities enables a fisherman to be proactive about catching a fish regardless of weather conditions.

The present invention can be practiced with modification and alteration within the spirit and scope of the appended claims. Thus, the description is to be regarded as illustrative instead of restrictive on the present invention.
