Abstract
A system and device for the easy and reliable detection of a strike on a fishing line and prevention of line entanglement is herein described. A bobber is placed on a conventional fishing line, which is suspended from a clamp that is removably attached to a conventional fishing pole. Affixed to the clamp is a shield portion, which functions as a device to eliminate any line entanglement or accidental rotation of the bobber around the pole. An alternate embodiment of the present invention provides additional visibility, comprising a bobber displaying fluorescent means.
Claims4
A fishing bobber system comprising:
- a bobber impregnated with light emitting material suspended on a fishing line by means of feeding said fishing line through guide holes on said bobber;
- a chain assembly to secure the bobber on a shield during stress at the time of fishing, said shield prevents line entanglement during fishing;
- a clamp mechanism for securing the shield, chain assembly, and bobber to a fishing pole;
- and,
- two discrete chains, each with a first end attached to a bottom end of said shield diametrically opposite from each other and each with a second end attached to an intermediary location on said bobber across from each other.
