## Abstract

An aerodynamic fishing assistant is disclosed. The fishing assistant comprises a float with an opening. The fishing assistant further comprises a shaft having a first end and a second end, wherein the second end is configured to slidably positioned into the opening of the float from a bottom portion and affixed to a top portion of the float by a fastening assembly comprises a cupped washer, a bead, and an eyelet. The float further comprises a weight member adhesively bonded on the bottom portion of the float. A lead line with a hook securely affixed to the eyelet at the top portion of the float using a swivel and a clip, thereby accurately casting the float and the lead line with the hook out to a target destination into the water for fishing and prevents the lead line from being tangled to a fishing rig by spinning of the float.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An aerodynamic fishing assistant, comprising:
a float includes an opening along its central longitudinal axis,
a shaft having a first end and a second end, wherein the second end is configured to slidably positioned into the opening of the float from a bottom portion and securely affixed to a top portion of the float by a fastening assembly comprising a cupped washer, a bead, and an eyelet;
a weight member adhesively bonded on the bottom portion of the float, and
a lead line with a hook securely affixed to the eyelet at the top portion of the float using a swivel and at least one clip, thereby accurately casting the float and the lead line with the hook and a bait out to a target destination into the water for fishing and prevents the lead line from being tangled to a fishing rig by spinning of the float.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The fishing assistant of claim 1, wherein the float is made of at least any one of a material includes Styrofoam® and plastic.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The fishing assistant of claim 1, wherein the float is made of an ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) foam.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The fishing assistant of claim 1, wherein the float is of an aerodynamic shaped member.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The fishing assistant of claim 1, further comprises a main lead line attached to the eyelet on the top portion of the float using at least one clip.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The fishing assistant of claim 1, wherein the float has sufficient buoyancy to floatably support the weight member at the bottom portion of the float in the water.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The fishing assistant of claim 1, wherein the weight member is a lead aero dynamic weight member.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The fishing assistant of claim 1, wherein the swivel is a 3-way swivel.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The fishing assistant of claim 1, wherein the swivel is a brass barrel swivel.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The fishing assistant of claim 1, wherein the clips are stainless-steel clips.

### Claim 11

An aerodynamic fishing assistant, comprising:
a float includes an opening along its central longitudinal axis,
a shaft having a first end with a stopper and a second end, wherein the second end is configured to slidably positioned into the opening of the float from a bottom portion and securely affixed to a top portion of the float by a fastening assembly comprising a cupped washer, a bead, and an eyelet;
a weight member adhesively bonded on the bottom portion of the float, and
a lead line with a hook securely affixed to the eyelet at the top portion of the float using a swivel and at least one clip, and
a main line attached to the eyelet on the top portion of the float using at least one clip, thereby accurately casting the float and the fisher line with the hook and a bait out to a target destination into the water and prevents the lead line from being tangled to the main line from spinning of the float.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The fishing assistant of claim 11, wherein the float is made of at least any one of a material includes Styrofoam® and plastic.

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

The fishing assistant of claim 11, wherein the float is made of an ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) foam.

### Claim 14 (depends on 11)

The fishing assistant of claim 11, wherein the float is of an aerodynamic shaped member.

### Claim 15 (depends on 11)

The fishing assistant of claim 11, further comprises a single lead line attached to the eyelet on the top portion of the float using at least one clip.

### Claim 16 (depends on 11)

The fishing assistant of claim 11, wherein the float has sufficient buoyancy to floatably support the weight member at the bottom portion of the float in the water.

### Claim 17 (depends on 11)

The fishing assistant of claim 11, wherein the weight member is a lead aerodynamic weight member.

### Claim 18 (depends on 11)

The fishing assistant of claim 11, wherein the swivel is a 3-way swivel.

### Claim 19 (depends on 11)

The fishing assistant of claim 11, wherein the swivel is a brass barrel swivel.

### Claim 20 (depends on 11)

The fishing assistant of claim 11, wherein the clips are stainless-steel clips.
