+1 on the Venom's. Got mine at Blue Ribbon in Oakdale. The guy said they sell a ton of them when I asked. Are their larger ones. I am having a problem with them keeping my larger pimples afloat. Plus, what's the deal with the plug with a needle you are suppose to put on? If I leave it off will it make it a litle more bouyant? Either way I am sold, great product.

Thanks for all the input. As an observer of the thread...I am now sold too!

Thanks to BobbyMalone also for the picture with the "mark". Worth a thousand words =)

Hope to meet some of you at Ice Crushers on Saturday.

JBohmer, after reading this thread, I went to the HSOforum. The second video clip on their home page shows exactly how and when to use the weighted pins. Very informative.

alright, I'm stopping by Thorne Bros tonight. gotta give'em a try

[DTro]

Thanks guy, I'll cut a slit and give it a try.

Where did the video go? I know there was one up earlier but it tells me it was taken down at request of the poster

I have used these bobbers quite a bit this winter. I played with them as much as I could to give them a fair shake down. Are they a good bobber that can help you catch more fish? Yes. The Glow really helps at night. Are they all that much better than a Ice Buster? I dont think so. I will continue to use Ice Busters as well as Venoms. I do however still use the Ice Busters way more often because I can use them with my heavier river jigs that will sink any Venom made to this point.

these things are brilliant! That would be why I did'nt think of it. These things might be "the best new on ice" since the tungstun jig, I can't wait to see their next idea!

[Hardyboy]

cutting it at the base to make the bobber easy to take on and off without retying. There is a thin notch there that you will plainly see so you can cut it. i used a thin razor blade to make the cut to keep the opening as small and tight as possible.

[FISHINGURU]

So these things won't hold up a heavier jig say 1/4 oz with a shiner I take it? I was gonna ask about the slit so you don't have to retie, atleast you can do it yourself.

[DeeJ]

For what it's worth: I don't use the slit... I figure I'll never lose it then is all. I have enough rods that retying isn't an issue for me and when I do it's always the leader or bobber-stop before the bobber.

I hadn't thought of the weight issue, haven't been to the river yet this year though. Good point.

for what its worth when i was on lake of the woods this past week and i put a heavier jig on i would add a second bobber to my line. looked weird but i was still able to achieve my neutral float.

[FISHINGURU]

Bummer, someone should let them know to make a bigger style for heavier jigs and minnows, looks like I'll mainly be stickin with the Ice Buster. I'll give them a try when I go out for some crappie or perch.

[Acemac]

Please make a bobber stop that acually works form week to week....

I bought some from Venom at the ice show in St. Paul and I asked about bigger sizes. They said they will be working on that for next season. He wanted to see how they sold before he went all out. By the sound of it on this thread, I think they can plan on moving forward.

[duckfarr]

just found out this morning that they we be at the sportsmans show this thur- sun. They are very helpful with any questions that you might have.

I was able to catch a slab crappi that was 1 1/4 lbs, that I never would of caught with any other bobber, set to be at the verge of sinking and the bobber was moving so sligtly with a waxie on it.

I set hook and was truly surprised at the result. with out the adjustable bobber I feel the fish would have felt the bobber on the line.

I will be a customer for life can't wait to see qwhat is next from these guys. keep up the good work !

[Hardyboy]

Hey just a heads up, They have the whole current Venom line in stock at Marvs Minnows in Zimmerman. They have the starter kits the replacement kits and the glow in the dark kits. Hope this helps anyone looking for them.

The Venom Bobber is so great that I've decided to divorce my wife, sell the house and cars, and buy one million of them. I will then construct a new home, car, and wife using nothing but Venom Bobbers. Boy am I stoked!

Corey I dropped you a note on your HSOforum. Looking to hear back from ya.

[jBohmer]

Welcome aboard Corey! Just a heads up, I own two venom bobbers. The only thing keeping from buying more is I am waiting for a bigger one. Great product, keep it up.

[DaSwede]

I out-fished some very good fishermen this past weekend. The bite was very light. I do believe that I caught those fish because I could see the bobber twitch and their ice busters didn't move. Great product!
