ABSTRACT:
A bobber and sinker which can be easily attached and detached from fishing lines is disclosed. The sinker is made of a single high density material, such as rubber, in which a slit has been made, to frictionally hold the fishing line. The bobber has an inner segment of high density material and an outer shell of high floatation material. A slit in the outer segment frictionally holds the fishing line. The bobber and sinker can be rapidly attached and detached from a fishing line by inserting the fishing line into the slits. Also, the bobber and sinker may be rapidly and easily positioned and repositioned along the fishing line, and the fishing line is frictionally held without the need for any operations or mechanisms to secure or hold the fishing line in place. Alternatively, to provide a sinker of higher density, the sinker can comprise an outer shell, an inner core of higher density material than the material of the outer shell, with a slit in the outer shell frictionally holding the fishing line.
