Slip bobber

A slip bobber comprising:

• a bobber body extending along a central longitudinal axis, the bobber body includes only a forward-bottom portion and a rear-top portion and thereby has a two-piece construction;
• a forward-bottom line opening at a forward-bottom axial end of the forward-bottom portion;
• a rear-top line opening at a rear-top axial end of the rear-top portion;
• a full-length channel running from the forward-bottom line opening to the rear-top line opening extending axially through the bobber body along the central longitudinal axis in which the full-length channel is for accommodating the reception of a fishing line therethrough;
• wherein the bobber body has a weight ballast located between the forward-bottom line opening and rear-top line opening, with the forward-bottom portion of the bobber body is heavier than the rear-top portion of the bobber body, that results in a center of gravity of the bobber body being closer to the forward-bottom line opening than the rear-top line opening such that, upon casting, the weight ballast causes the forward-bottom portion of the bobber body to lead and the rear-top portion to trail;
• wherein, upon reception in water, the weight ballast of the bobber body is so situated such that the bobber body and the full-length channel lies horizontal in the water in a rest position with the central longitudinal axis and the full-length channel being substantially parallel to a surface of the water in which the slip bobber is received;
• and
• wherein, upon reception in the water and upon a downward force being applied at the forward-bottom line opening, the weight ballast is so situated as to cause the forward-bottom portion of the bobber body to tip down into the water further and the rear-top portion of the bobber body to tip up out of the water such that the slip bobber assumes a bite indication position in which the central longitudinal axis of the of the bobber body and the full-length channel is substantially perpendicular to the surface of the water.
