On the eighth day of Christmas my true love gave to me eight bobbers bobbing, seven sinkers sinking, six kits for rigging, … five purple worms … four rebel lures, three weedless hooks, two spools of line and a fishing pole complete with a reel.
Do you use bobbers? Which ones do you use? Think they’re all the same?
I use bobbers occasionally. Mostly when I take my younger son freshwater fishing. He likes to use live bait and it’s easy to tell when you’ve got a fish on if there’s a bobber on your line. But my younger son aside, I’ve been known to use bobbers as a weight when fishing flies on a spinning system. Yep, you read that right! I’ll tie a fly (wet fly – one that sinks) on the end of my 4 pound test and put a bobber 2 feet above it. The bobber gives you enough weight to be able to cast the fly and also acts as a strike indicator! I’ll usually use a small tear-drop shaped bobber to do this type of fishing. And yes – it works! I’ve used this technique to catch bass when they weren’t hitting anything else. That’s your bass fishing tip for the day! 🙂
I used to think bobbers were all the same – with variations in their size and shape. But I recently read about a new bobber “with a brain”. I was thinking “yeah… right” but when I read the write up, it actually looks interesting. Check this out:
Notice the product’s description – “This Smart Fishing Bobber is a slip & lock system without a Line Stopper. Simply: Just cast the Bobber with a Brain out and it will allow the line to slip thru until the sinker finds the bottom, then it fills with water, LOCKS THE LINE, and holds your baits inches to feet off the bottom with the sinker as the “anchor.” The hook held above the bottom can be “danced” or jigged by slightly pulling on your rod, makes dead or plastic baits ‘come alive!'”
Sounds very interesting – but come on – does it really do all this? Any of you readers ever try this thing? Would you mind writing a comment about it here please? They say they’ve been selling for over 8 years now but this is the first I’ve heard of it. If it really does work, I’d love to hear your opinions and maybe I’ll actually buy and try one! (I’m used to getting a 6 or 10 pack of bobbers for a couple bucks, and this is 2 bobbers for 9 dollars. Kind of pricey for a bobber!)
Well, I’d really love to hear any of your experiences with any type of bobbers, so please write a comment to share with everyone!
Catch you later.
