Abstract:
A triangular float system for use in jug fishing comprising:a float having three buoyant legs of substantially equal length and which connect with each other to form an equilateral triangle having three sides and three apices with an open space in the middle, each apex being opposite from a leg, the float being adapted to rest flat on the surface of a body of water;a fishing line having one end attached to one of said apices and having an opposite end adapted to be disposed beneath the surface of the water;at least one fish hook being secured to said opposite end of the line with bait thereon so that, when a fish strikes at the baited hook, the downward pull on the line tips the float so that the leg opposite said one of said apices is slightly elevated above the surface of the water to provide a clear indication that a strike has occurred, the elevated opposite leg providing a handle for lifting the float and, hence, the fish out of the water.
