Abstract A fishing pole mount is provided which includes a pole holding socket and which is adapted either to be planted firmly in the earth or affixed to the side of a boat, and which includes means responsive to a tug on the line to sound a signal, and to provide a regulated tension suitable to set the hook adequately but without excessive force. Provision is made for adjusting the tone of the signal so that two or more fishermen, located in proximity to one another, can each recognize by the tone of the signal which one of them has a bite. It is not desirable when a fish has been caught and reeled in to throw the fishing equipment onto the ground or into a dirty boat hold. A second pole socket is therefore provided on the mount having no signal means associated with it, for holding the pole temporarily while the fish is being removed from the hook and the hook is being re-baited.
