ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a float device for a fishing line, the device including a buoyant body with a bore and a slot that extends radially from the bore, an elongate slit tube mounted within the bore of the buoyant body, the slit tube having a longitudinally extending slot that is alignable with the buoyant body slot. A circumferentially extending groove is provided near each end of the slit tube. A pair of end caps have an inwardly projecting annular portion that engages these grooves to hold the end caps rotatably mounted to the slit tube. Each cap has a generally cylindrical side wall, is open at one end and has a circular wall at the other end, and there is a slot that extends through the cylindrical wall and radially through the end wall from a central portion of the end wall. Each end cap can be rotated to bring its slot into alignment with the slit tube slot permitting a fishing line to be moved radially through the aligned slots and into the bore of the slit tube. The end caps can then be rotated to move their slots out of alignment with the slot of the slit tube, so as to retain the fishing line slidably within the slit tube bore.
