Patent ID: 10918097

Abstract:
A fishing bobber is comprised of a hollow casing, a plug, a weight, a straw and a visibility marker. A weight is captively held moveably inside the hollow casing between one semi-closed end of the casing and a plug telescopically engaged with the other end of the casing. A straw extends through the center of the plug and communicates with the hollow of the casing and then extends to the distal end of the bobber where it is adorned with a visibility marker. A fishing line can be threaded from a fishing pole through the semi-closed end of the casing, through the hollow cavity in the casing, and out through the straw on the distal end of the bobber where a sinker and hook can be located on the fishing line. The hook is located a predetermined distance from the end of the line attached to the sinker. When the fishing bobber assembly is in the horizontal position on the surface of the water the weighted end of the fishing line will freely pull the line from the pole through the fishing bobber assembly until the weight lands on the bed of the fishing spot. A perforation in the middle of the casing allows water to enter the initially air filled hollow of the casing causing the fishing bobber assembly to gradually change from a horizontal position toward a vertical position. The change of position of the bobber rom horizontal to vertical causes the moveable weight to bottom against the semi-closed end of the casing and stops the free movement of the fishing line, which then which then puts tension on the fishing line between the weight on the fishing bed and the vertical positioned bobber.
