Spring Bobber question

[PK3]

Just wondering which spring bobber set up would be the best to jig with 1/8 oz jig and minnow head. Are these strong enough to handle the jig and minnow? I assume St. Croix and Thorne bros. rods would be like comparing ford to chevy. More of a spring bobber strength question.

When I use spring bobbers I am jigging small baits, usually nothing bigger than a #12 fatboy or something like that. As long as you can see the spring move when you get a bite it will work, but 1/8 oz sounds very heavy to me to use on a spring bobber. Good luck.

If you were to use a St. criox and adjust it then that may work but it may also be too much weight. I would maybe get a more sensitive rod that can handle the 1/8 jig and go with that instead. Some rods that are sensitive enough at the tip will work with a jig that size.

I would say if you were to check with one of these companies, they would have the rod you need.
