Many thanks to Chad K. of Michigan for his contribution of this unique bobber which was made in Italy. Originally called the "Sure-Set"Automatic Fish Hooker and known as "...the bobber with a brain". Note* Over the years several bobbers have been marketed as "The bobber with a brain." It features two hooksetting positions with the center shaft movement setting the hook.
