ABSTRACT:
A fishing float is disclosed having a stem and a buoyant member. The stem includes a slot oriented toward the buoyant member for receiving a fishing line. When a fishing line is attached to the fishing float, the configuration and orientation of the slot keeps the fishing line attached to the fishing float, even when the person fishing jerks on the fishing line. A spring is mounted around a portion of one end of the stem, and resists the movement of the fishing line out of the slot. The spring can be located in two positions, one creating a slip line condition such that the fishing line can slide through the slot, and the other creating a fixed line condition such that the fishing line cannot freely slide through the slot.
