Yes am jig fishing. Some lakes we fish have lots of standing timber and logs on shallow flats like less than 6 ft. It's easier to use a bobber because you can keep your jig closer to stumps longer. If you hit those areas and don't find fish and then move out to a deeper area, I'd rather not have the bobber.
I could make it with a regular non slip bobber but on days where several are in the boat it's nice to have a slip just so you don't have so much line hanging off your pole when you cast. I just thought these would work good because I can use them like a slip and then take it off when we moved areas, but I couldn't find a lot of reviews on them.
Since you said you wouldn't use a bobber with jigs. What would you recommend for these areas? Just cast and drag with weedless head and hope you don't hung up?
