Abstract: A multipurpose fishing device having a single elongated essentially flat planing or hydrofoil surface with a first eyelet rigidly suspended on one side above the longitudinal axis of the surface and displaced away from the surface and at least one additional eyelet at or near the trailing edge of the surface. Such a device can be employed as a conventional fishing bobber or cork, fishing lure, and/or water kite in a variety of types of recreational fishing including trolling, bank or ice fishing and rod and reel casting. The device is particularly useful in that it combines the features of bait casting with the concept of a water kite, thus allowing the angler to readily work the entire surface of a river or stream from the bank or shore.
