Abstract

An illuminated fishing float with high intensity multi colored high intensity light emitting diodes signals fish activity beneath the float. When the float is activated a single color of light is emitted. When fish activity occurs beneath the float a flashing light is displayed. When a fish takes the bait the flashing light and the single color steady light are extinguished and a steady light of another color is displayed. The float is hollow and is composed of two sections which screw together.
