ABSTRACT:
A fishing float, or "bobber", is disclosed having a hollow buoyant body member which is at least partially transparent, and containing an electric lamp bulb, an electric battery and a resiliently operable electric switch connected in series with the bulb, the body member carrying a line lock adapted to be secured to an intermediate point of a fishing line so that a leader portion of the line depends from the body for attachment of a fishhook, bait, lure, sinker or the like to the lower end thereof. Tension on the leader is operable to close the switch against a tension spring to actuate the bulb. The float body has a chamber to which water may be added to vary the buoyancy of the float, and the switch spring is adjustable to vary the sensitivity of the switch.
