Abstract

A popping float fishing rig has a float and beads mounted slidably on a rigid wire, in combination with a substantial weight. The weight may either be fixed at the lower end of the wire, or slidably mounted on the wire below the float. Such an arrangement provides truer casting, less tangling, and better fish attractant properties as compared to the prior art.
