ABSTRACT:
An improved fishing bobber having a light weight quill portion with a stop at a lower end thereof and a denser portion which fits over the quill and abuts the stop. The denser portion has sufficient weight to facilitate casting the line but has enough buoyancy to float at approximately the water surface. Moreover, during a cast, the denser portion helps to maintain the quill portion in an orientation amenable for casting. In the water, an upper end of the quill portion will situate above the water surface as a signal to the fisherman. The quill portion is slidable within the denser portion such that as a fish strikes the bait, the quill portion will move downward with the fishing line without dragging along the denser portion, thus the fish does not feel any drag from the denser portion.
