Abstract: A bottom bouncer preferably includes a flexible line, a float and at least one weight. A loop is formed on one end of the flexible line for attachment of a swivel loop or the like. The float includes a lengthwise through hole for receiving the flexible line. The float is preferably retained on the one end of the flexible line. The weight preferably includes a lengthwise through hole for receiving the flexible line. A set screw or the like may be threaded into the weight against the flexible line to secure the weight thereto, such that the loop or swivel loop will be a set distance off the bottom of a body of water. A set screw in a clamp collar may also be tightened on the flexible line to retain the at least one weight on the flexible line. However, other types of fastenable weights may be used.

Abstract: A fishing hook threader and holder includes a threader body and a hook holder projection. A conical shaped opening is formed in a top of the threader body at substantially one end. The entrance opening has a greater perimeter than the exit opening. A line bore is formed through the exit opening and is substantially concentric therewith. A line removal slit is formed through a wall of the line bore. A jig clearance notch is formed adjacent the line bore. In use, a line loop of the fishing hook, a jig hook or fly hook is inserted into the line removal slit, such that the line loop is in contact with the line bore. A fishing line is inserted through the conical shaped opening and the line bore. The fishing hook and fishing line are removed from the fishing hook threader by pulling thereof out of the line removal slit.

Abstract: A fishing hook holder preferably includes a base plate and two resilient outer layers. One of the two outer layers is attached to one side of the base disc and the other one of the two outer discs is attached to the other side of the base plate. A hook opening is formed through the base plate and the two outer layers. A base slot extends from a perimeter of hook opening in the base plate to provide clearance for the fishing hook. An outer slit extends from a perimeter of hook opening in each outer layer to provide an interference fit with the fishing hook. The base plate is preferably a magnetized material, such as steel. An end of the base slot may be terminated with a neodymium magnetic. A hook holder projection includes a base plate and two resilient outer layers and is retained in a threader body.

Abstract: A dovetail split bobber includes a first bobber half and a second bobber half. A horizontally and/or vertically tapered male dovetail projection is formed on the first bobber half and a horizontally and/or vertically tapered female dovetail slot is formed in the second bobber half. The tapered female dovetail slot is sized to receive the tapered male dovetail slot. The split bobber is preferably a sphere, but may have any other suitable shape, such as a cylinder. A stuffed toy eye may be attached to opposing outside surfaces of the split bobber to create a rattling sound, when floating in a body of water. A Velcro split bobber includes a first bobber half and a second bobber half. A hook fastener pad is applied to the first bobber half and a loop fastener pad is applied to the second bobber half.
