Abstract: A cast fishing implement comprising a line a leader or snell, a hook device, a sinker attached to the line, and a bob consisting of a float body, with a weight at the forward end thereof, e.g. a lead ring. The bob is provided with a central cavity which is outwardly open at one end thereof and which at the opposite end terminates in an elongated channel inside a straight, rod-shaped extension rearward of the float body. The cavity is dimensioned such that it can contain the hook with the bait, spinner or the like, and said channel being dimensioned such that it can contain the sinker. The bob is adapted to lie flat on the surface of the water when the sinker is drawn all the way in to the end of the channel in the extension and the hook with the bait, spinner or the like lie within the cavity. The bob is balanced such that its center of gravity lies near the forward end of the bob, permitting it to stand upright when the hook, spinner or the like and the sinker have left the bob. The overall length of the hook, intermediate leader and sinker is adapted to correspond to the overall length of the cavity and the channel in the extension for the bob.
