                             a reflective enclosure containing a light source and a                            
                      tiltable switch such that said light source is electrically                              
                      connected to said tiltable switch, and said reflective enclosure                         
                      can be seen by others when shined upon with lights to verify                             
                      position of said flag arm;

                             an electrical connection to said light source, tiltable                           
                      switch and power source wherein conductors have connection                               
                      to said flag arm with removable fasteners along the length of                            
                      said flag arm,                                                                           
                             whereby, when a fish strikes, said tip-up arm is released                         
                      from a lowered position and said tiltable switch electrically                            
                      connects to said power source to said enclosure so that said                             
                      light source illuminates to signal a user of a fish strike.                              
                      9. An ice fishing display device for use with an ice fishing                             
                      tip-up with a base assembly and a tip-up flag arm mounted to                             
                      the base assembly comprising:                                                            
                             a reflective enclosure containing a light source and                              
                      tiltable switch such that said light source is electrically                              
                      connected to said tiltable switch, and said reflective enclosure                         
                      can be seen by others when shined upon with lights to verify                             
                      position of said flag arm;                                                               
                             a power source; and                                                               
                             an electrical connection means to said light source,                              
                      tiltable switch and power source within said reflective                                  
                      enclosure,                                                                               
                             whereby when a fish strikes, said tip-up arm is released                          
                      from a lowered position and said tiltable switch electrically                            
                      connects to said power source to said enclosure so that said                             
                      light source illuminates to signal a user of a fish strike.                              
                      Thus, claim 9 is directed to an ice fishing display device comprising a                  
                reflective enclosure containing an electrically connected light source and a                   
                tiltable switch.  The enclosure is visible when lights are shined on it.  The
