A snag resistant drift fishing weight device suspends a slack fishing line over a bottom surface of a body of water. The device includes a cover bead having a convexly rounded upper surface. A loop extends from the upper surface for being coupled to a fishing line by extension through the loop. A tube is coupled to the cover bead such that a bottom edge of the upper surface abuts a top edge of the tube. A weight is coupled to a bottom end of the tube for resting on a bottom surface of a body of water such that the tube extends upwardly supporting the fishing line over the bottom surface of the body of water.
