Abstract:
A fishing float attached to a fishing line providing adjustment of the depth of the fishing line without having to necessarily reel in the fishing line to perform the adjustment manually, the fishing float comprising:a buoyant wedge-shaped outer shell; an internal fishing line channel running through the fishing float through which the fishing is directed; a stationary magnetic catch receiver: and a weighted metal rocker arm pivotally attached within the outer shell, the metal rocker arm containing an internal inertia driven non-magnetic metal ball contained within a ball track forcing the rocker arm to pivot when a tug is applied to the rocker arm, the rocker arm also having a magnetic catch tip encroaching within the internal fishing line channel adapted to lockingly engage the stationary magnetic catch receiver across the internal fishing line channel until a tugging force applied to the fishing line disengages the magnetic catch tip from the magnetic catch receiver.
