Abstract
A hollow-bodied frustoconical fishing bobber has a top section with a semi-spherical, concave top surface with a line aperture in the bottom of the semi-spherical top surface and a depending tube through which a fishing line may extend. Below the top section are two hollow semi-cylindrical halves with bottom walls that are joinable together and connectable to the bottom of the top section with the depending tube passing through and ending at the joinable bottom walls. A continuous helical fin in three sections is on the outer surface of the top section and two semi-cylindrical halves which causes the fishing bobber to spin about it radial axis. Weights are locating with the hollow body.
Claims12
A hollow-bodied fishing bobber, comprising:
- a.) a top cylindrical section with a semi-spherical concave top surface having a line aperture in bottom of the concave surface and a depending tube in flow communication with the aperture through which a fishing line may slidably extend, the top section having an outer surface;
- b.) a bottom cylindrical section with a bottom wall having a second aperture whereat the tube passes through and ends when the top and bottom cylindrical sections are joined, the bottom cylindrical section having an outer surface;
- c.) a continuous helical fin on at least one of the outer surfaces of the top and bottom sections which causes the fishing bobber to spin about it radial axis;
- and
- d.) weights being locating within the hollow bodied fishing bobber for making clicking noises.
