Hey Rags if u r comin to the BnB in Topeka, bring some of u'r homade spring bobbers, pls.

Sorry dvk doesn't look like I can make it (weather). I will post info on making them when I get home.

nothing fancy but very effective and easy to make (cheep)

start with .73mm (22 gauge) galvanized steel wire. almost any hardware store has it. about $5.00 for 100 feet

cut a length off and twist one end around something the size you want the hole to be. I use a marker because it slides off easy.

bend at 90 degrees and you are done.

size of hole is personnel preference. for me I go small so the jig doesn't slide thru it so easy when reel it up.

I always paint the end with a fluorescent paint so I can see It better.

They easiest way to attach it I have found is electrical tape. easy to remove if you want it off.

the trick for me is to start the tape on just part of the wire first(a wrap or 2) then lay it on the pole tip and tape it down.

I usually leave about 2.5 inches past the end eye.
