DESCRIZIONE
A bite indicator (10) is disclosed having a housing (12), a wheel (22) mounted on the housing (12) to rotate freely about an axle, a surface (18) on the housing for supporting a fishing rod in a position in which a line of the fishing rod makes contact with the wheel (22) to cause the wheel to rotate in response to movement of the line and a sensor for producing an electrical pulse with each rotation of the wheel through a predetermined angle. In the invention, an alarm circuit is provided which produces an audible or visible alarm signal only when the time interval between the electrical output pulses of the sensor falls below a predetermined value.
