Abstract:
1. A magnetic slip bobber, comprising: a fishing line having a first end and a second end, said first end for attaching to a fishing pole, and a hook located on said second end; a slip bobber selectively slidably connected to said fishing line, said fishing line operable for extending through said slip bobber; a magnet connected to a fishing pole end of said slip bobber; an aperture formed as part of said magnet, said fishing line operable for extending through said aperture formed as part of said magnet; a line-stop made of a material attracted to said magnet mounted to said fishing line at a location between said fishing pole end of said slip bobber and said first end of said fishing line operable for being selectively connected to said magnet such that when said fishing line is cast into a body of water, said slip bobber moves along said fishing line until said line-stop contacts said magnet, thereby maintaining said hook attached to said second end of said fishing line below a hook end portion of said slip bobber at a predetermined depth; and wherein an outside diameter of said line-stop is greater than a diameter of said aperture for preventing said line-stop from moving in a direction past the magnet upon a fish striking the hook such that the slip bobber and line-stop travel as a unit with said fishing line under tension and allows selective release between said slip bobber and said line-stop upon reeling said fishing line toward said fishing pole.
