spring bobber

[fishhunter88]

does anyone know where I can get spring bobbers. the one I'm looking for I can't find. it is 2 wiresin an oval shape with a hole on one end for your line and has special tape to attach it to your pole with. I saw these at the fishing show in St.Paul and now I can't find em anywhere.

fishhunter,
post your e-mail address and I'll send you the address of the spring bobber I purchased at the Ice Fishing Show, it sounds like we both may have purchased the same one.

SERIOUSLY! It was THIS big!

I bought the same (or similiar) spring bobber at Wayzata Bait on Hwy 12 a few weeks ago.

I bought a couple of those spring bobbers at the show also. I love them they are great for a light crappie or walleye bite. I have lost the package for them, if somebody has the HSOforum to order more I would like to get it from you.

I have a source also [email protected]. The tape at the bottom is heat shrink tubing.

Guys, Spring bobbers are really easy to make yourself. Pick up some piano (spring) wire and some pre-drilled plastic beads at the hobby store. A few bends of the wire and tape it to your rod. I also "paint" the tape with liquid electrical tape. Very the length and dia. until you max the sensitivity of your target fish.

it sounds like those spring bobbers would work but where can I get the piano wire?

I saw some spring bobbers at Gander Mt. In Lakeville (back by the live bait). They aren't the same ones as the ice show, but they should work the same.
