Removable and interchangeable limited resistance dive-action bait-navigating fishing bobber

Abstract

A removable and interchangeable limited resistance dive-action bait-navigating fishing bobber comprising, a substantially flat floatant body of an inverted tear drop design having a bottom slot containing a top notch for receiving a fishing line and a bottom notch for receiving a weight, a conical shaped weight having front and back ear extensions with a connecting rod that interlocks into the bottom notch of the slot in the floatant body retaining the weight to the floatant body. The top of the ear extensions forms a hole in the top notch of the slot retaining the bobber to the fishing line. The weight is removable from the floatant body when the rod is pulled out of the bottom notch allowing the bobber to be removed from the fishing line and the floatant body and weight to be interchangeable with other weights and bodies.

Description

[0001] This invention relates to an improved limited resistance dive-action bait-navigating fishing bobber, especially to an improved limited resistance dive-action bait-navigating fishing bobber that is removable from a fishing line having a weighted body that is interchangeable with different weights or the weight is interchangeable with different bodies providing substantially improved fishing to fishermen. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Fishing floats and bobbers of prior art are commonly used to float bait or suspend bait in a body of water. Bobber and floats also allow the fisherman to visibly watch to see if a fish is striking at the attached bait by the movement of the float or bobber on top of the water. [0003] Floats and bobbers have been designed to float significantly above the water line to be highly visible to the fisherman. Some floats have been designed with brightly colored vanes extending above the water line for higher visibility and also designed for less res...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This design provides fishermen with a versatile tool that can be easily adapted for different fishing conditions, improving the chances of catching fish by allowing quick changes in depth and presentation, while minimizing resistance and tangling issues.

Problems solved by technology

Round, pencil shaped, high rising, lighted, aerodynamic, water weighted, wobbling, sound emitting and many more different designed bobbers and floats have come along, yet a problem with most is that they are limited to the area in which they float and limited in the functions they perform.

The prior art of the limited resistance fishing bobber does not provide a removable bobber that allows the weight and floatant material to be removable and interchangeable with other weights and bodies for fishing under different circumstances, allowing the fisherman to change body color or style, or change to a different size weight to fish suspended at different levels in the water from top to bottom or fish deeper faster or slower depending on the weight.

A problem with this design is the inability to remove the bobber from the line without cutting or untying the attached fishing line.

The connection of the weight to the bobber using a small piece of fishing line to tie the weight to the bobber is time consuming and difficult to manufacture.

The bobber of U.S. Pat. No. 5,775,025 does not allow the bobber to be removed from the fishing line without removing the bobber stop and cutting the fishing line to remove the hook.

A removable means or interchangeable body adaptable to this design was unknown and unobvious in prior art and no mention of the possibility of a removable interchangeable bobber is conveyed in the language of U.S. Pat. No. 5,775,025 or in prior art.

The problem with this design of an attachment means is that it is not compatible with the design of the applicant's invention of a removable and interchangeable limited resistance dive-action bait-navigating fishing bobber.
