ABSTRACT:
A discoidal float for "jug" fishing. A buoyant disk has its opposite sides painted to contrast in color. A fishing line is connected to a center post on the disk and carries a weight on its opposite end. Fish hooks are secured to the line. When a fish strikes, the downward pull on the line inverts the disk to visually indicate by the contrasting colors that a strike has occurred. The line can be wound up in a peripheral groove on the disk. Thumb and finger recesses in one side of the disk facilitate gripping it when the line is being wound. A counterweight on the bottom side of the disk provides it with stability when floating normally and allows it to be inverted in response to a strike.
