A lighting device for use with a fishing line is the subject of the present invention. A base support which is positionable on the ground or floor of a boat mounts an elongated transparent tubular member. Within the tubular member is contained a light bulb, battery and gravity activated switch. The tubular member is pivotally mounted relative to the base support and will always assume a vertical upright position regardless of the angle of the supporting surface. A pair of V-grip couplers at the top and bottom of the tubular member are adapted to releasably receive the fishing line. When the fishing line moves in response to a fish striking, the tubular member will be pivoted causing the fluid switch to close thereby lighting the bulb.
A fishing rod holder and signal assembly having a rod holder device attached to a mounting member for upwardly supporting the rod holder. A pivotal signal tube is mounted on the rod holder and presents either a flag signal or a light source signal for indicating the bite of a fish on the fish line releasably strung relative to the holder signal.
A fishing system with audio and visual signals is capable of use with both tip ups and tip downs. The fishing system includes a tower like tubular support extending from a base member configured to receive at least on tip down. The tubular support includes a tubular visual signal housed at a location on the support and an audio signal housed within the support. The tubular support includes a first wiring outlet configured for wiring a switch on the tip downs to the audio and visual signals and a second wiring outlet for wiring a switch on the tip ups to the audio and visual signals.
