Answer 1

As already mentioned it be the good ol' faithfull plastic Bobber. Ta' attach it to your line simply push in the red button on top and it will expose a small brass hook, lay line under it and release (hook clamps down on line), might add a hook will also be exposed at the bottom of the bobber where one can extend line down for a double hook-up, which gives a more stable float ;)... < ' ( (( > <

Answer 6

those that float totally is a float,partly bobber much stable,waggler is the pencil shape due to the effects in the water connected at a thin shape would wag when there's currents,this is even more stable cos of lower center of gravity.If its just to serve a floating purpose then u just might be interested in buying some pieces of white foam.They can be cut into many usable sizes n the cost like 1.50 bout 2by 6'.Thread it over  after u make a hole with a needle/disgorger,tie it below a shot then another heavier shot just bout 10 inches above the hook.also a swivel below that shot would be nicer.

Bobber, float, strike indicator they all work for me. I met a guy at one of my shows that had invented some interesting bobbers. You can control the direction of your drift with them. For all you guys that like trying out new products, this one might be worth looking into. It's called The Bullet Bobber. Here's a link to it.

Answer 8

It's called a float or a bobber. "Float" is the more commonly used term. The long, thin ones which you thread through the bottom are specifically called "wagglers".

Answer 9

Commonly it is called a "bobber". However, if you simply call it a float, that works since that is how they are categorized in sporting goods stores.

Answer 10

Less than $1.00 = Bobber.

Over $1.00 (can be flourescent colors) = Strike Indicater.
