Great Bobbers perfectfor pan fishing!

I’ve bought these before and they work great. Since they are weighted I can cast them farther.

Description said could be uses as a slip cork but they cannot

I purchased the largest ones (2”) to ensure they would float with my hook and bait. The 2” model weighs a little more than 1/3 of an oz, which for me is plenty enough weight to cast a 1/4 oz weight and hook with plastic bait. I tested them in a glass of water to gauge how much weight I could suspend and still see the float above water. The description with different float levels with different weights is pretty much on the mark. These work great for drifting plastic bait or beads/eggs for salmon and the weight accompanied by a split shot gets my bait into the strike zone.

Line rarely tangles when casting = big advantage over oval casting bobbers. The design allows for jigging action without a lot of horizontal movement = you can stay in the strike zone longer. Very sensitive because there is less slack in the line and less tangling = you can feel the bites more easily on slow retrieves and you can be more confident that you aren’t dragging a tangled line thru the water with no chance of catching a fish. Because it’s less likely to tangle you will lose fewer fish, lots of fish get lost at the last second because the tangle spontaneously comes undone and gives the fish enough leeway to spit the hook, especially crappies with their paper mouths.

Tends to slide if using a light line like a 4 and 6 lb line. Still workable, just added a rubber slide bobber stopper to the line. With the stopper, work well. Reason for it sliding seems to be that the plastic tip where the spring is located does not have stopper on the tip to stop the spring from going pass the plastic tip end.
