Description

A white and red float or "bobber". The button attached to an internal spring on top of the float is pushed in so a fishing line can slide into a then exposed clasp which sticks out of the bottom of the float. When the spring is released, the button holds the float in place on the line. The white upper half will stick out of the water and provide a good visual indicator if a fish has taken your bait when the float becomes submerged. The round shape makes this float sit naturally upright in the water without much additional weight underneath.
