Do you have trouble with the bobber and jig going end-over-end? Also, I have trouble setting the hook with a bobber; the fish seem to spit it out before I can set it.

the weighted bobber helped with it not flipping but i found out to be sure to hold the rod parallel to the ground /water when im releasing it. and i know what you mean with the bobber. i watched a midwestcrappie show on shooting docks and they were using the smallest bobber possible because as soon as the fish puts resistance on it, the bobber goes under and the fish feels alot less resistance and it feels more natural. so fly fishing or ice fishing bobbers may also be good if your using like a 1/48th oz. jig. but the downside to that is distance you can shoot it.
