ABSTRACT:
A tubular fishing float which, in the preferred embodiment, includes at least one extended tubular center section and two end sections, which end sections seal the center section to form an air-tight compartment which provides buoyancy. The end sections include devices for attaching the fishing line to the fishing float and for providing drag on the fishing line; such devices include one or more of pig-tails, holes, or slits. One alternate embodiment includes a slotted sleeve which attaches the fishing line to the tubular float and provide extra weight. Another embodiment includes a plurality of tubular fishing floats attached to one another to increase buoyancy and/or to improve visibility. Another embodiment includes a hollow cylinder and two end plugs which are insertable into the hollow cylinder to form an air-tight compartment. A double-tube fishing float includes two tubular center sections attached to a center connection section which biases the two tubular sections together to wedge around a fishing line. This embodiment includes an open cylindrical center section attached to the center connection section which is adaptable to cooperation with a knot on the fishing line to enable efficient deep water operation. Another embodiment includes a flange attached to and biased around the center section to grip the fishing line.
