Abstract
A float body for river fishing and trolling has a longitudinal fin projecting downwardly from the bottom of the float to cut through water being fished to locate the float in desired lateral locations relative to the riverbank or direction of trolling. A spring-loaded locking swivel arm is used to set the desired angle at which the fin cuts through the water. The line exit location is through the fin and approximately at the center of the float body rearwardly from the swivel arm for horizontal stability. The float includes line locking apparatus using ring members secured under spring pressure or by a threaded tightening nut.
