The invention provides a device for automatically setting a hook in a fish. The invention uses a simple post to which the major components are assembled, which post has a pointed bottom for insertion into ice or snow, for ice fishing in the winter, or to which appropriate clamping means may be attached so that the post can be connected to other supports such as a pier or the gunwale of a boat for fishing during the other seasons. The invention incorporates a signal flag and it also incorporates means for avoiding activation if a fish only makes a passing attempt at taking the bait, rather than a full strike. This means takes the form of a lever and a first spring-loaded rod attached to a recoil mechanism. If the rod is caused to move with sufficient force it will actuate the recoil mechanism which, in turn, moves the lever and releases a second spring-loaded rod, effectively setting the hook in the fish's mouth. The recoil mechanism is adjustable so that its sensitivity can be set in accordance with the species of fish being sought. In addition, the recoil mechanism is provided with appropriate means to counteract the effects of wind and hence avoid inadvertent actuation when there is no fish striking at the bait.
