    Abstract: The “Cast-Away Bobber” has an operation similar to other slip bobbers but it's make-up and performance are uniquely different. It has a hollow vertical tube through the center with a tubular pierced glass bead through which the fishing line is feed which won't wear out over extended usage. The two piece bonded float assembly has a make up of a closed cell light weight plastic foam for the upper section and a heavier foam rubber base for the bottom section, both sections are bonded together and then coated with several applications of different plastic dip paint for greater visibility and giving the bobber years of performance even if it's accidentally stepped on. The heavier foam rubber base gives the bobber a natural weight for a longer and more accurate cast even in windy conditions. The heavier base also gives the “Cast-Away Bobber” a somewhat angular position when floating in the water without adding additional weight or a sinker, however it is recommended to add a 0.
