Thread: What's Your Favorite Bobber ,cork, Or Stike Indicator ?

Another favorite of mine is the Rocket Bobber
http://www.tackle2000.com/



One of its best features is that it has the spring loaded clip on the bottom like the old fashioned round bobbers. It's quick to attach as a fixed float or a slip float. I have a couple rods already set up with a bobber stop and a bead so I can use them with the Rocket Bobber as a slip float or take the Rocket Bobber off in a second to use some other presentation.

With little or no weight below the Rocket Bobber, it'll lay on its side on the water. It'll start to stand up when a fish takes your bait. I like to fish it this way in shallow water as a fixed float. I like slip floats to stand up when the bobber stop hits it so I know the bait is at the correct depth.

i cant realy concider myself much of a float/bobber user...i was planning on starting it though...at my local lake if you put 1/2 of a nightcrawler on a #10-#14 hook and drop it almost to the bottem the bluegill and redear will hit it all day....im trying to open up to more styles of bluegill fishing...

really though, I have never thought about bobbers so much, but now I am interested and will try some different ones. What is that quill thingy you were talking about, NIMROD?

A quill bobber is no more than a tiny stick(or originally a porcupine quill) with line clips/holes.

Hey do you guys know where I can find some porcupine quills--the african kind, I want to make my own?

Sorry nevermind, I found some online at www.dogmeier.com/africanporcupinequill.html--there's also some selling on eBay.

i like using the styrofome(spelling) bobber about 3 inches long.

I use the plastic "kids" bobbers. I guess I am a simpleton

Hi,

I started using the bobber kcbh posted on crappie.com..The bobber you drill three small holes in it and put split shots in the holes.....It lays flat...When you get a bite it stands up....I started using it pretty much all the time for bluegill last year...I bet I caught over nearly 80 percent of the fish when I got a bite with this bobber..Maybe even higher than that...Just give it a try someday...Only down fall is that after casting many times the lines starts to get twisty...Plus if the fish brings the bait up it is sort of tough to tell if you got a bite or not?...But, usually don't have a problem with that...
