I saw a demo of a new lighted bobber by Lindy-Little Joe-awesome product! I think it's called the "Splash Light". When you cast it, as soon as it hits the water, it lights up, reel it up out of the water, it goes out. It is identical to their balsa bobbers except for this feature. They say it should last about 30 hours as far as battery life, then you can use it like a regular bobber. The video I saw said they wouldn't be available until January of next year. Not sure of the cost either. whistle

Saw this too! pretty neat! only thing is im gonna end up with a box of dead bobbers! lol we night fish quite a bit and thirty hours is like three trips out so i figured im gonna need about a dozen lol but i wouldnt mind using them and handing themoff to the little kid down at the river when im done with them either!

But does it light up during the day?? That would use batteries up

Yes it lights up anytime its in the water or wet! so yes it would waste the batteries during the daylight hours......

The "Splash Light"...It's only short fall, if you consider it a shortfall... is it has a 30 hour use life span, then it is a conventional slip float...non replaceable battery.

So you have a handy lighted float tell it wears out, than a conventional float to add to you float box.

So if I get this right, you pay for a state of the art bobber but it is only going to be good for it's intended purpose for a mere 30 hours, then it can just be used as a regular bobber. Seems as though it wouldn't be that hard to make it so the battery could be replaceable. Sorry if this sounds like a worthless gripe.

It's a way to milk more money out of us!!!

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
