    Abstract: Described herein is a fishing device that uses a sliding weight to force a float assembly to a unique position and hold it in that position until it is reset. This indicates to fishermen that a strike has occurred. The actual device consists of a tube sealed on each end containing a loose weight. This assembly is installed in a rectangular plastic foam float, a hollow molded plastic float, or any suitable float. The tube assembly is installed through the center of the longest dimension of the float. The tube has an end ‘A’ and an end ‘B’. End ‘A’ has an eyelet installed for attaching a fishing line. The line is a sufficient length to allow an anchor, which is attached to the end of the line, to reach the bottom. This line also contains fishing hook(s). The weight of the anchor is calculated to counter the force exerted by the fish thus allowing it (the force) to be transferred to end ‘A’ of the tube.
