Do it backwards then. Run your line through the slit/O ring down through the wire that has been wound up. When the fish takes it under the wire trips and it sets the hook and winds up line.

I thought saw won already. Ok has a battery. When fish pulls on the o ring end it closes a switch that spins the wire like an open faced reel to set the hook then the fight is on?

It says on the bottom "Spin Free". It was made in Livermore, CA but I can't find any evidence that the company still exists.

Okay here is my guess:

Its designed to let out line in order for the fish to run a bit with the bait, thus enabling a better hook set when it finally indicates a "FISH ON."

Never seen one, never used one.
Just a guess.

No batteries, no motor, no springs.

Baffler is a better name for it than bobber. Thanks for the topic Barny I may have to see what is guessed tomorrow. Good one buddy. Had me thinking hard since you posted it.

is it free floater, rap or tie your line around the red part at top, your line then goes through black washer to set depth

Couple guys already said what I was thinking. Definitely interested here.

could be a bobber with line inside to adjust fishing depth

Run the line thru the wire on bottom then back up to the slot on the top. Push the o ring back up to hold the line in place at the depth you want.

Well, give it a whirl and see what happens!

floating yoyo that sets hook so you can reel in your catch

Line runs under the o ring on the bottom then under the wire on the top. Adjustable.
