You can use weight with them. to get them to lay flat the weight has to be in their range

Yeah,that's only disgorger I had, that was the right sizes to get a hook out of a small gill, everything else is way too big.

The bobber he was using was a weird shaped pink one called a "Rocket Bobber" and he said it was the ultralight size, 4 inches long. His bobber would just lay on it's side after a cast and when a fish took his bait it just started to move the pointed tip up a little. Dan would then just start fighting his next big Bluegill. (you don't need to "set the hook" with circle hooks, fish actually hook themselves.) Evidently you can cast a mile with that bobber and I guess it's more sensitive than my round plastic one. I was never that picky about bobbers, but my buddy sure is. Anyone have any info on these Rocket Bobbers?

Where can these be bought other than Walmart?

I use a number 3 split shot about 8 inches above the hook . If using a jig one of the rubber bobber stops work well about the same 8 inches above the hook .Bought mine at" Dicks "sporting goods . They will cast better than a "Thill" but not near the action due to 4 paddles . If distance is the thing ,they are my go to though .

I believe I have bought them at Walmart a couple of years ago

Now you've made me go and order some Rocket Bobbers and small circle hooks! Sounds like an experiment I need to try. Went to place an order for something else on Amazon yesterday and checked to see if they had Rocket Bobbers and small circle hooks. Both should be here tomorrow. Have always like to use a weighted bobber anyway, and do occasionally like to fish live bait also. Be nice if the circle hooks prevent hooking any deep.

IMO, bare jig heads prevent deep-hooking better than any bare hook.

Are u sure about size 10 Eagle Claw black Circle Hooks? I can't find them anywhere. Only the 10/0
