    Default AN ELECTRIC CHICKEN STYLE BOBBER


    One of my neighbors challenged me to make him some "Electric Chicken" style bobbers because he wanted to see his bobbers and floats on the water from a farther distance
    and he knew my two inch pool noodle floats were pretty much indestructible. I realize many of you have seen my YOU TUBE videos on how I make these and seen many pictures of them here on this forum. I just could not resist posting these so I ask you to forgive me in advance.

    These are not weighted. Add your egg or worm sinker on your line below your slip bobber. That helps your lure to get to the strike zone faster and by using the correct weight will make this strike indicator/ float/ bobber or whatever you name it stand upright until a fish pulls it under. This two inch bobber is great for panfish, bass or Walleye as I designed it for shore and bank fisherman to throw with a 1/4 ounce worm or egg sinker for greater casting distance. I welcome your comments.

    Not too bad for about eight cents a bobber to make them. LOL They are fun to make and to fish with. Boy Scout troops, after school clubs and Church groups love to make them.

    had a really big female crappie hammer my float in short water about a week ago ....TWICE ....before she finally bit my jig
    thought it was a bass until I saw her clearly the second time she came up .....
    sometimes the float may attract them this time of year , just saying
