Tarpon4me, Thanks for the thumbs up post!
It really is a better bobber for all situations that you would ever use a bobber and more. I invented it thinking it would be easy to get going but patent cost and 3 molds that ended up being scrapped cost me over $50K. I could use all the advertising help I can get, because I am going to have to sell about 50,000 bobbers to get back to even. I could have dropped it but the more I tested them the more I was willing to put in. They are not just for bait like regular bobbers and absolutely fun non stop action in a current from shore. I have caught trout and smallies on them in rivers and only needed to cast one time and then steer it where I wanted back and forth over the hole I knew had fish with a jig or spoon or even a small hard baits.
The thing that I like is I can reach areas that were not possible before from shore. You can control it at any distance your line can reach and your eyes can see.
There are some uses that I never even thought of.
This is the latest good news I got as feedback thru my website.
If it works for Stripers it will work for many other fish. Wish I had a boat to test trolling with them!
I am using your product to troll for stripers in the lakes and rivers in East Tennessee with great success. I am a director of the Tennessee Striped Bass Association and would like to present your product to about 50 members on Monday 11/20/06. If you have a video I can show it would help greatly. Regards, Capt Chet.
I sent Chet my video and he is going to send me a video when he goes out next time.
This idea is one is one I had to try.
Hook one of these on the back and scout the area for depth and fish. It works great! You just need to put a ¼ ounce weight about 1 foot back and the sonar unit 2 foot back because it needs a little downward pull to flip. The 4” X-Large is needed for planing at a wide angle considering the load.

I may get my day of fame!
I hope you all will wish me luck getting on the “Invent It Now” patent contest that is produced by Modern Marvels and run on the History Channel. No, I did not think that a bobber would get me on but the idea of making one the size of football with hand holds and/or a trailing strap could be a handy rescue device for a person stranded in high fast water and it could take the risk out of a bad ring throw to a person overboard. They contact 25 inventors in December and I'll let you know if I'm one. Maybe you'll see me on TV.
Good Fishing to all at BFT,
