Executing an entitydata command on a fishing rod's bobber in a command block doesn't give any redstone signal through a comparator
1) Type the /entitydata command in a command block with as selector @e[name=unknown] (is the bobber).
{My command was execute @a ~ ~ ~ /entitydata @e[name=unknown,r=5] {CustomName:"GrapplingHook1",CustomNameVisible:0}}
2. Attach a clock and a comparator to the command block
3. Use a fishing rod.
No signals come out of the comparator.

Yes there is if you do /say @e @e when there is a bobber near you it says PLAYERNAME PLAYERNAME and unknown.
When I renamed the bobber using the command /entitydata @e[name=unknown] {CustomName:"Joe"} it actually renamed the bobber and the name was displayed above it.
And by the way in the wiki http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Data_values/Entity_IDs it doesn't say anything about the fishing rod's bobber.
Please read this and try it on your minecraft before responding, thank you.

Did you actually tried in your minecraft?
Using the following command: /entitydata @e[name=unknown] {CustomName:"RandomName"}
while there is a bobber near you?
This time seriously try it on your MC and then come back and tell me what you have discovered.
You will found out that a mystical name tag will magically appear from a mysterious world above the bobber.
Sorry if I sounded rude didn't mean to but I hate when people don't know what they're talking about.
If you want a video proof look at this http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9StUwrTpS4Q a video by Dragnoz.
Using the command /entitydata @e[name=unknown] {CustomName:"RandomName",CustomNameVisible:1} will display the name of the bobber and give an output signal when executed.
@sonic How can /kill @e[type=!Player] kill a bobber if there is no bobber entity?
There has never been an entity with a name of "unknown", which is causing the command to fail. The full list of entity names can be found here: http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Data_values/Entity_IDs
