ABSTRACT:
A floatable bobber used to support an insertable fishing line in water. The bobber has a central one piece elongated plastic section with a T shaped slot at its lower section in which a fishing line may be inserted. Surrounding this section at its lower end is a slidable rubber sleeve used to hold the in-place fishing line. Further up the bobber is an enlarged foam section with internal weights. These weights are configured in a triangular shape with the one piece section extending through the middle of the triangle. When a fish is caught, tension is applied to the in-place fishing line to upright the attached normally prone floating bobber to indicate and alert a user to a potential catch.
