A fishing apparatus is provided which overcomes a number of disadvantages with the conventional "jug line" used in jug fishing. The fishing apparatus includes an elongated cylindrical float of a pliable, resilient, and buoyant material. The float has a longitudinal axis and longitudinally spaced first and second ends. An eye is fixedly secured to the first end of the float, and a fishing line has an end attached to the eye. At least one hook is attached to the fishing line at a position spaced from the end of the fishing line. A counterweight is embedded in the second end of the float to assist in maintaining the float in a horizontal position before a fish strikes. The float assumes a vertical position when a fish is caught.

1. A fishing apparatus comprising:an elongated cylindrical float of a pliable, resilient, and buoyant material, the float having a longitudinal axis and longitudinally spaced first and second ends; a rod fixedly secured to and longitudinally extending from the first end of the float so as to form an eye adjacent thereto, the rod having a first end projecting approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the float between the first end of the float and the eye; a fishing line having an end attached to the eye; at least one hook attached to the fishing line at a position spaced from said end of the fishing line; and a counterweight embedded in the second end of the float.
