I would go with the Certified Pro X 96 JS. It is 9'6" rated 6-15# test. The rod is designed for jig fishing. It will have plenty of power if you tie into a Chinook.

The present invention relates to fishing equipment and more particularly to an extremely sensitive spring bobber. The spring bobber is attached to the tip end of a fishing rod (or pole) and replaces the conventional floating bobber san antonio real estate.

Fish have an instinctive ability to survive while feeding. The fish relies upon sight, sound, taste, and an incredible wit. Once a feeding fish has accepted the bait into it's mouth, the bait must meet all expectations before it will be consumed. If the expectations are not all met, the fish simply releases the food and the odds are against the fisherman most of the time when using a hook and line 2nd mortgage.

A hook, line, sinker and line float (bobber) plus a rod and bait are all used to trick a fish into biting. This offering is far from a natural presentation. Feeding fish will inhale and taste the bait, sucking if off the hook when possible. Fish will not accept the bait if it is offered in an unnatural manner. The unnatural appearance and weight of bait (and lures) and the overpowering resistance of a sinker, line float and rod tension is not natural enough for fish to normally accept in their daily feeding habits new york real estate.

Using a sinker and line float the bait is suspended at a depth set by the fisherman. This may or may not be at the level of feeding fish., called the strike zone. The fisherman can see his line float and only hope that is at the proper depth to catch fish. However, under water the line, sinker and bait may be wrapped around weeds and a wrongly guessed depth will simply keep the bait too far away from the fish.

The prior art known to applicant which relates to the present invention is found in U.S. Pat. No. 3,143,822 (Schooley), U.S. Pat. No. 3,529,375 (Dey) and U.S. Pat. No. 3,950,880 (Polaszek). The Schooley patent discloses a bite signaling device comprising a leaf spring secured to a fishing rod at one end and an aperture member at the other end. The Dey patent discloses a fish bite indicator comprising a wire member bent upon itself at its midpoint to form a loop at one end with the other ends of the wire secured to the fishing rod. The Polaszek patent shows a bite signaling device having a housing attached to the end of a fishing rod, a coiled spring member mounted within the housing and a wand member attached to the coiled spring dallas homes for sale.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The invention disclosed herein comprises a spring bobber used in combination with either a casting rod or a spinning rod. The sensing element of the disclosed bobber is formed from a single strand of stainless steel wire. The wire is first bent to form a first loop portion through which the fishing line will pass, a plastic bead providing a signaling member is placed on the wire adjacent this first loop, a second much larger loop is then formed at a right angle to the first loop providing an extremely flexible member, the remainder of the wire is then bent to form parallel sections with a pair of legs extending perpendicular to the plane containing the second loop and the parallel sections. This sensing element is secured to the rod by a pin and coil spring arrangement which will be described in detail below.
