A cone-shaped fishing bobber features a fixed line retention member and a releasable leader line retention member. A movable plunger in the central bore of the bobber retains the fishing line by a slot and a movable ring at the plunger top. The releasable leader line retention member comprises a movable rigid wire set in the plunger bottom so as to bridge a recessed spool area at the cone base. Leader line is wound on the spool and held in place by the rigid wire during casting and released by the plunger and wire dropping down when the bobber hits the water. In the water the cone shape gives indication of the direction of current flow. The retention of the fishing line at the narrow end of the cone causes the cone to flip base-side-up when the weight of a fish attaches to the line. Ballast may be provided within the base of the cone body. The retainer ring and the movable rigid wire present no protruding parts to cause entanglement of the fishing line.
