Bobber with a Brain
Let’s go fishing with something so NEW and inventive that it has its own patent! And it’s not just any patent, but a patent that has 11 features that no other bobber can do!
Looking at the bobber itself, we find a new type of slip float that has a magnetic locking device in its chamber. The locking device consists of a nickel-coated steel ball and a washer type flexible magnet. The locking device eliminates any line stopper that is required for an ordinary slip float! The ability of this so called “Bobber With A Brain” does not stop there!
The BWAB is so unique to the bobber industry, it is in a category of its own and is touted as a product “Where No Bobber Has Gone Before!” This claim to fame comes from the fact that the BWAB can place any number of baits from inches to feet off any bottom, without even knowing the depth! Let’s look a little deeper into this bobber!
This product was invented, made and patented in Latrobe, PA about 15 years ago, has been sold in over 32 sports shows, and even appeared on both QVC TV and the Sportsman Channel. The bobber consists of seven (7) parts mostly made in the Great Lakes area. Parts come from Ohio, PA, Illinois and the package is made in Michigan, with one part coming as far away as Texas! How this product works is a real stroke of genius! …Or maybe just a sudden brain storm with some luck! Anyway, the BWAB works great even in rough conditions as many testimonials make it more convincing!
Here is a picture of how it actually works from the time it hits the water till it stands up vertically in the water. The bobber works in combination with any weight of sinker and a simple crappie or perch rig! If you’ve fished over the side of a boat and tried to keep your bait a foot or two feet off the bottom in 50 feet (or even 10 feet of water), you know it can be very difficult, especially when the boat is drifting. This bobber will solve that by being able to do the same thing near or at 100 feet from the boat or shore with the ease of a simple cast! A bait rig with baits tied above the sinker is all you need and the bobber does the rest as you can see in the diagram!
The BWAB is tough; reports have come in by fishermen who have used the same one for over 4 years on a weekly basis! One of the best features is it will not drift in a 30 mile per hour wind or medium current since the sinker acts like an anchor! Other great features are extensive – with so many applications that it boggles the mind! The bobber can be reeled in and stopped at any point which will give the same setting action of the original cast! This feature alone makes it easy to fish an incline the whole way up especially for walleye! Fishing 3 baits, one on the bottom below the sinker and two above the sinker, is a feat never done by any bobber since time began!
The BWAB works with the line coming out the top just the reverse of a regular slip float! A bite, even very light, is determined by its tilting action making it super sensitive to even a nibble! Because the ball and magnet lock the line in the chamber, an up and down rod movement causes the bobber to tilt toward the horizontal giving all off bottom baits a 3 to 4 inch up and down jigging motion resulting in many double catches! Replacing the sinker with a1/4 ounce jig with a bait hook a foot above gives fisherman new dimensions in fishing or trolling with a jig!
So think outside the box and never close your mind to new and innovative ways to do anything. Lets make “Made In America” number ONE in fishing!
