A fishing bobber and bait guard assembly including a lightweight, hollow, generally cylindrical float with a rounded nose and a disc closure plate. The bait guard portion is generally cylindrical with one end removably mounted on the disc closure and the other end open for insertion of the bait. The disc closure may have lugs disposed for locking engagement with a radially inner flange on the forward end of the bait guard. The bait guard is of a resilient material for compression between the lugs and a surface of the disc closure. The resilience also serves to withstand impacts and deformation in use without damage to the guard. Counterweighted portions of the float and guard maintain the unit in balance during casting. The float has a diameter and length suitable for nesting in the bait guard portion so that the assembly may be stored in a minimum of space in a tackle box.
A fishing bobber and bait guard assembly comprising a hollow, generally cylindrical, float portion having a rounded nose and a disc closure plate, a bait container portion having a generally cylindrical wall open at both ends, said wall at a first one of said ends being mounted on said closure plate, a second one of said ends being open for insertion of the bait, said closure plate having locking lugs spaced from a surface of said plate and said container portion having a locking flange extending radially inward from said wall at said first one of said ends for positioning between said locking lugs and said surface of said plate in locking relationship.
A fishing bobber and bait guard assembly comprising a hollow, generally cylindrical, float portion having a rounded nose and a disc closure plate, a bait container portion having a generally cylindrical wall open at both ends, said wall at a first one of said ends being mounted on said closure plate, a second one of said ends being open for insertion of the bait, and said float portion having a counterweight in said rounded nose for balancing the bobber and bait guard during casting.
A fishing bobber and bait guard assembly comprising a hollow, generally cylindrical, float portion having a rounded nose and a disc closure plate, a bait container portion having a generally cylindrical wall open at both ends, said wall at a first one of said ends being mounted on said closure plate, a second one of said ends being open for insertion of the bait, and the outer diameter of said float portion being less than the inner diameter of said container portion whereby said float portion may be stored inside said container portion to minimize storage space.
