Doonbuggy Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Might try some slipbobber fishing this weekend and am wondering what type of lighted bobbers people use. Any particular kind or style I should look for?I'll be going for eyes and will be soaking fatheads or slightly larger minnows.Thanks in advance.DB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northlander Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 The battery lit thils are my afvorite or just get a snap glow stick and put it on the top straw of your bobber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodland Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I have never had much luck with the battery life on lighted bobbers, one thing or another, seems like I am replacing them way too often for the price...I now buy the "glow sticks" and attach them to my slip bobber. If I am going to replace them each time out, might as well go with the cheapest option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Holland Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 The new gamakatsu firetip slip bobber with LED tips are awesome. Great battery life and very easy to turn on and off. Must have for night bobber fishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cylinder Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I bought a bunch of mini light sticks on hsolist-- shove them into the top of a Wave Buster or Ice Buster foam bobber. Works great as long as it isn't in a real bright area (lights from shore, moon, etc). I think 3 boxes of 50 cost around $20 including shipping.

shorefisher Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I have very good luck with the Thils ( you need to be very careful to get the battery pulled all the way off or the battery will be dead the next time you use it. may not be lit but will still go dead)I have used the glow sticks but on the past few below frezzing nights they did not last long unless I warmed them back up.

Wiskers Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Im still suck on the Wave Buster or Ice Buster with a small glow stick stuck in the top. Today's Tackle has some nice new glow sticks that are pointed for sticking into the bobbers... They work awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Mosher Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 DB, I make two different kinds of Bobbers. ICe Buster Bobbers and Wave Buster Bobbers. The Wave Buster Bobbers are made for Summer Fishing. They are weighted (for further casts), Can snap instantly on and off line, No need for a plastic bead on your line - just the string tie knot, Trimmable for more sensitivity, so however you look at it they have more built in features than any bobber. For night fishing just poke a hole into the top with a toothpick and isert a glow stick for about 6 to 8 hrs of light. Good Luck, Bruce Mosher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey lee Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I dont think you can beat Todays Tackles bobbers for day or night.I love there ice buster bobbers for ice fishings. Hands down,the best bobber I have ever used. You can trim those babies down so the top is just at water level and it takes nothing to pull it down without the fish feeling anything.
