ABSTRACT:
Two plastic shells are secured together to form a generally hollow buoyant member. A weight member in the form of a metal washer is contained within the buoyant member. A stem projects from one curved surface portion of the buoyant member, doing so along the longitudinal axis of the buoyant member. When the stem is pressed inwardly to overcome the bias of a coil spring, a hook is projected from an opposite curved surface portion of the buoyant member so that a segment of the fish line can be attached. When a fish actually takes the fishhook at the end of the line having the bobber attached thereto, the bobber is reoriented from a horizontal position into a vertical position with the stem thereof then extending upwardly. When the fish only exerts a slight pull on the line, a pull insufficient to swing the bobber into a vertical position, the bobber angularly aligns itself on the surface of the water in the direction the wind is blowing.
