Bobber

Bobber

* a bobber is a small float used in angling, which suspends the lure at a predetermined depth. Though traditionally made of cork, modern bobbers are typically made of hollow plastic.
* a bobber is a motorcycle that has had many of the stock accessories removed to reduce weight or to present a "clean" or minimalist aesthetic. This usually includes safety and courtesy equipment like reflectors and turn signals and may include appearance panels and covers.
* a "Bobber Caboose" is a 4 wheel (two axle) railroad caboose, rather than the standard 8 wheel (2 trucks, each with two axles and 4 wheels) caboose.
