ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A fishing tip-up utilizes a rocker arm which is pivotally mounted to a body member for oscillation about a horizontal axis to effect an up and down jigging movement of a hook and bait on a line associated with the arm so as to attract fish. The oscillation of the arm is accomplished through the use of a wind vane attached to the arm which serves to cause a movement of the arm in response to air movement coming into contact with the vane. An adjustable spring is operably attached to the pivotal arm so as to assist the wind vane in creating the up and down movement, and a tip-up flag assembly is provided to signal a remotely-located fisherman that a fish has taken the bait. The fishing line is wound on a spool journaled on the arm with the spool including an adjustable friction brake structure and the line extends through an aperture in the vane. The body member of the fishing tip-up is pivotally attached to a base member to enable folding for storage with the base member having extended ends so that excess fishing line may be wrapped about the base member when the tip-up is folded into a stored condition.
