I recently took a picture of a couple Lite Brite bobbers that had come apart. They cracked around the top of the ball where the shaft goes through. I sent the picture to Northland and told them the problem. I have used Northland tackle for many years and never had any problems with any of their stuff. Today I got a box in the mail with a new hat, 4 bobbers, and a Northland Tackle book. I thought that was pretty good of them to do that.
