Quick take
Weighted foam bobbers with fluorescent paint and double-lock closure for adjustable depth on live bait.
A pack of twelve round 1-inch foam slip bobbers with a small lead ring near the base, which helps the float stand upright and carry a little farther on a cast. Brightly painted bodies are easy to pick out on the water, and the adjustable depth setting lets you hold bait at the level where panfish and catfish feed. A simple, low-fuss float for crappie, bluegill and bank fishing.
Best for
- Crappie and panfish under bobbers with light baits

Strengths

Trade-offs
