Method of assembly of combined fixed and slip bobber

A method of making a stem of a fishing float comprising:

• using injection molding to form a first stem part having a cross section of a diameter of about 4.75 mm or greater and a length of between about 55 mm and about 70 mm, and comprising a wall having an outer surface and an inner surface and a wall surface connecting the outer surface to the inner surface with a thickness of the wall defined as a distance from the outer surface to the inner surface, a channel passing between an opening at a first end and an opening at a second end, a first slot passing from the outside surface of the wall into the wall without passing to the inner surface of the wall;
• using injection molding to form a second stem part having a circular cross section of a diameter of about 5 mm or greater and a length between 55 mm and 70 mm, and comprising a wall having an outer surface and an inner surface and a wall surface connecting the outer surface to the inner surface with a thickness of the wall defined as a distance from the outer surface to the inner surface, a channel passing between an opening at a first end and an opening at a second end, and further comprising a tubular member extending outwardly from the first end and having an outer diameter less than the outer diameter of the second stem part and approximately the same as the diameter of the channel in the first stem part;
• and
• inserting the tubular member of the second stem part into the opening into the channel at the second end of the first stem part to form a stem such that the channel in the first stem part and the channel in the second stem part align with a common longitudinal axis and a joint is formed at the intersection of the first stem part and the second stem part.
