ABSTRACT:
A fishing float comprising a rotatably mounted hollow tube suspended above an upper cavity in a buoyant base, wherein a buoyant arm is attached to a pivotably mounted locking mechanism comprising a brake shaft having a central opening. The mechanism is locked and unlocked by rotation of the brake shaft which aligns or misaligns the central opening with respect to the path of a fishing line. The float can be used to change the depth of the fishing line within the water either a predetermined distance to effect jigging or an indefinite distance depending on the orientation of the hollow tube.
