A fisherman's float including a hollow longitudinal body with a bulb at each end. Each of the bulbs is hollow. The two bulbs are connected by a tube which passes through each bulb. The first bulb contains two threaded halves which can be un-threaded from one another. The fishing line passes through the bulb, the longitudinal body and the two part float and then on to a second float (if desired), a sinker (if desired) and a hook and/or bait. The two halves of the two part bulb screw together so that a light source, electrically or chemically driven, can be inserted and held in the water tight float. Each one of the bulbs floats. The longitudinal body is preferably eight to twelve inches long and serves to prevent tangles as well as to increase the visibility of the float and easy detection of fish activity at the bait.

A fishing bobber may include an elongate shaft having a first end, an opposing second end, and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween, a line retainer disposed at the first end, a counterweight float disposed proximate the second end, and an axially movable primary float disposed on the elongate shaft between the first end and the second end.

An elastic bladder that is filled with water. The water adds weight to the line for casting, allowing a lure to be cast farther. The bladder has an arrangement of tubes that are inserted into each other. One long rigid tube has a folding hinge at the base. A leader is secured to the bladder with a bridle. The remainder of the leader can be coiled and attached in the v of a lower valve that retains the water in the bladder. This coiling allows the bladder to be positioned far above the hook, allowing the hook to be placed deeper than when using an ordinary float. After casting, the hinge is released, and the bladder empties, becoming a float.

A strike indicator and strike indicator tooling assembly for use in fishing. The strike indicator comprises two hemispheres that may form a substantially spherical outer dimension around fishing line. The two hemispheres may fit frictionally together to prevent movement or slipping of the fishing line between the two hemispheres once assembled. The hemispheres may be disassembled to replace the fishing line, and reuse the strike indicator. The tooling assembly comprises a top insert, and a bottom insert. The top insert and bottom insert compress around a foam sheet to form the spherical outer form figures of the two hemispheres.
