Reply With QuoteMy local Academy has 3/4 and 1" pear floats, white w/ red stripe, Comel brand. They may have had 1/2", I'm not sure. I got a couple of packs but haven't fished them yet.

I am a flyfisherman, and when I was taught to FF in the '70s my mentor called those who used "strike indicators" Bobber Fisherman. I have some of the foam type I use to suspend tiny 1/100 oz Mylar jigs fishing over grass.Originally Posted by SeaRay
Was about to say that the Fly Fishing section should have the small ones. There is apparently some stigma associated with a fly fisherman lowering himself to use a bobber, so they are called "strike indicators" in the fly fishing vernacular.
I once was using small red worms on a fly rod for bream and I told a guy I was using a "Garden Nymph" !
And I was taught that a worm was called "Garden Hackle" but I like your name better.

I have used several "ice fishing" bobbers that would probably fill your needs. Search the net using "ice fishing bobber", and you will have several options.

You can do like i did and contact Russ right here on the site and ask him to send you some. He's a good guy and will probably send them. He gave me some.

Disco...tell me more about these. How heavy a jig will the different sizes support?...if you know that info. Do they peg well and hold onto fluro? Thanking you in advance.

Click on "size" here for the capacity of each:

1 BB split shot is approximately equal to 1/64 oz
I don't use fluoro much, but I can't imagine that pegging with fluoro would be a problem.

Thanks much....just ordered. I use the Trout Magnet EZ Floats all the time as they have a split in them so if I want to fish without float it is easy to remove without having to retie. But when using fluro leader they can slip. Fluro is so dense hard to get anything to not slip when just using pressure.
