I just ordered some fiskas ones from "your bobbers down" last night, pretty cheap, each bobber is $2 then shipping is 1.75 for less than $15 I got an assortment. I also have bobbers made out of springs such as lighter springs.
I anxious to see these new bobbers.
I have used both the coiled spring(Frabill) and the flat spring(HT). The coiled spring bobber is way more sensitive. I put those on rods with light jigs. I put the flat spring bobber on the rods with heavier jigs. For the flat spring bobbers, I picked up one made by HT that just clips onto the end of your rod. No more shrink wrap. Only thing is that I put a 1/4 oz. jig on and the spring is not heavy enough to hold it. But once it is in water, I wonder how it reacts then.

If you are fishing a 1/4 oz jig ,you'll not need a spring.A walleye will thump you rod good enough.
a spring is used when your fishing panies and have tackle on the weighs 32'nd oz or smaller.
There's hardley a spring out there that can handle the weight of a 1/4 oz jighead.
I just bought 3 or 4 different fiskas bobbers bobbers. And made one myself also.
It really would depend on how heavy a jig you are fishing but I have to agree with crappiekid, i think I like the flat type the best in that they are very long and sensitive. I got the No4, N10, N12, N15. Alot of ice jigs are pretty heavy probably wont work to well on a spring.
I really need to get a spring bobber on the end of my rods.
Yesterday the bite was so lite, I was missing a lot of fish.
I've got'n pretty good at noticing a lift of a crappie.
It's that 6th sence while fishing.
Fish On!
