Description

An Optimized conventional pin-style fishing bobber that is made to be compatible not just with conventional fishing poles, but also spinning rods and other rods using leaders, clips or other pieces that may otherwise not fit through the bobber's opening. This allows the design to be used with ease on Any Fishing Setup, letting users easily switch between lure fishing and bait fishing. Additionally, the hexagonal design prevents the bobber from rolling around in boats, and makes it more effectively utilize the slots in tackle boxes.

The design is my own work and has been successfully used in both Sweden and Norway to catch Trout, Perch and Northern Pike. The project started after I realized just how long it took to convert my spinning rod for bait fishing, having gone through many jerry-rigged solutions before then which would at best last a summer. With this bobber, I have been using the same set for over two years, having only had to replace a pin, and it continues to work very well.

Use
To use the bobber, lead your line through the top to a desired length, then align it with one of the small circular grooves on the side, hold the line in place and then insert the pin to lock the line in place. 

Settings
The settings used have been derived experimentally through extensive testing, and therefore, modifications could reduce the bobber's functionality.
PLA & PETG both work, but maintaining >3 walls and thick top/bottom, 0.12-0.24 layer height, gave the best results with my printer (P2S).

Enjoy!
