ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to an elongated float or bobber placed on a fishing line to indicate when a fish has struck the bait. The novelty resides in features that eliminate the float's resistance normally felt by the fish on the hook. The bobber has a weight of a given size on one end and a tab with a novel slot-hole arrangement on the other end. The line which has a stop thereon is permitted to freely slide along the slot until it reaches the hole, whereupon the stop will be pulled freely through the hole by a fish without exerting any pull on the bobber per se.
