What is the best spring bobber?

[Northtwin]

I usually fish gills with a UL rod and seem to due pretty well. The articles I have been reading say I am missing alot of fish since I don't use a spring bobber. The few times I have used them I got frustrated because they keep freezing up. I was using the pen spring type. Any suggestions or tips?

the st croix spring bobber rod is awesome.

I second the st croix spring bobber. Best setup i've ever used.

Marmish Rod.

There is nothing close to the St Croix spring bobber.

The rod is debateable. The springbobber really is not.

It's far and away the best springbobber on the market.

I agree the St. Croix spring bobber is the best.

St. Croix Springbobbers here. I use a different rod, but have the bobbers on my rods.

I LOVE my Frabill Springs, but I fish in a heated shack so ice up isnt an issue. Not a big fan of the St croix springs,but it may be more like the rod I dont like.

J. Mitchell spring bobber rod is the best Ive used.

Most of my rods have been fitted to use the St Croix spring bobbers including my TB which work really well. That said the spring used with the Marmish rod is far and away the most sensitive I have ever used and it does not freeze easily.

I like the Lakco brand spring bobbers that are made with a single piece of spring wire and an orange plastic bead. They can be put on or removed from any rod in 30 seconds with out messing with the line.

How do you folks attach a StCrx SprBobber to a non-StCrx rod? Id love to use their bob but don't own nor want the rod

Single foot eyelet buy a grommet to inset in eyelet attach eyelet to top of rod near tip. Can use shrink tube or epoxy. Think the grommet would be size 8 but take the eyelet to the hardware store to make sure. Now just buy the St Croix spring weight you want and there you go. Less than $15. The Legend rods are just OK but the spring bobber is hard to beat.
