I bought these 1/2" Thill Slip bobbers - Good size for 1/16" and 1/32" jigs ?

Cajuntec,
Go to THIS LINK and click on ratings. Look for the images and you'll see two images form me. Find my review, it tells more. The review is written by 'DanAyo'.

The unweighted version will barely hold a 1/32 jig head with a light tube jig. It sinks too low.

I found it. “Thill should be ashamed to list this product. Does Thill test their products?”. Good pics. Wish all reviews for a product contained pics like that. Thanks for posting.

Thill makes great slip bobbers, or at least I like them. I was excited to find the bobber the OP shows and bought some myself. My issue; If I'm fishing 4' below a slip, it's hard for a 1/32 to pull the line through all the way to the established depth and so, I add a split shot and now the float sets pretty much almost too low.
It wasn't the float of my dreams as I expected it to be.

BigTrout,
Have you tried the Thill Pro Series? The difference between the standard Thill and the Pro is the grommet in the top of the mast. The standard has a foam core in the stems. They wear out fast and when they do the cut a groove that grabs the line.

I’m obsessed with slip bobbers. So much so, I’m making them myself. I also had a problem with 1/32 not descending smoothly through the float. Grommets go a long way in eliminating this.

Well... I'm half laughing, half angry right now. The bobber (single) showed up today. The ad on Walmarts site shows 18/box, so I was expecting 18 slip bobbers at a very good price. What I received was one. single. lonely. bobber...

I wouldn't recommend Discount Tackle (who fulfilled the order from Walmart). This is the second time I've had issue with them. Trying to do a return, and I'll order from someone else.

All the best,
Glenn

I was waiting to see if you actually got 18 for that price, because if you did, I was gonna order a bunch!

Cajuntec,
Try these in the 1/16 oz. I think you’ll like them.
Order the Everlasting Slip Bobber on line

For my fishing the fluorescent pink or yellow are the most visible. Depending on conditions one will show better than the other.

Would have been a really good deal. I had to go get gas for the lawn mower, which is right next to Walmart, so I walked in and did the return. The lady looked at the piece of paper, acknowledged that she would have been expecting 18 based on the description, and then looked in the bag. She looked surprised, apologized, and refunded my money.

Ordering some online in a few minutes. I'm going to try the ESB.

I just ordered 6 of them. 3 yellow ESB1 and 3 pink ESB2. Thanks!

No, haven't tried the Thill Pro. But I DID just order some of those Everlasting Bobbers from the link you provided. Thanks!
