ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates, in general, to fishing bobbers, and, in particular, to a fishing bobber that is adjustable to assume different aspects and functions when in the water, thus allowing for more variety in bait presentations.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
In the prior art various types of fishing bobbers have been proposed. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 83,681 to Albee discloses a fishing sinker which has a two part body connected by a threaded rod. The parts can be separated or one part can be replaced by turning them in opposite directions along the threaded rod.
U.S. Pat. No. 148,926 to Cahoon discloses a fishing hook which has a hollow threaded rod which is used to secure a hook within the bobber body.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,598,011 to Pitre discloses a lure having a weight attached to the lure by means of a threaded rod which can be used to adjust the position of the weight.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,775,842 to McCode discloses a fish hook with a weight whose position can be adjusted by means of a set screw which engages a linear portion of the hook.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is directed to a fishing bobber which has a threaded rod positioned internally of the bobber, and which has a weight at one end. The weight can be adjusted along the threaded rod to alter the disposition of the bobber in the water.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved fishing bobber.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved fishing bobber which has more variety in effective bait presentation.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved fishing bobber which is compact and can easily snap on and off the fishing line, without the need for tying or untying the fishing line.
These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will be fully apparent from the following description, when taken in connection with the annexed drawings.
