Use a slip bobber and don't put a lot of weight on the line and 6#-8# line. Directions are on the bobber package. I use slip bobbers that wash up on the banks around the house. Best that washes up are the thiils, but any slip rig will do the job.
I think your looking for a Float & Fly bobber, however they are round and not a stick float. Check Punisher Lures listed in the site under float and fly. If I remember right they are for a 1/16 jig head. You can also do a Utube search to see how this bobber works. A few vids on the float and fly. This bobber is designed to roll up when a fish pushes up on the jig.
Sorry I don't have any pictures but you take a slip float and use a hot needle or real small drill bit and make a hole at a 90 degree angle to the length of the float on the bottom end. Put your stop knot on the line, then run the line through the hole you made (not through the center of the slip float) and tie your rig and weight on below....when the fish lifts up the float will lay flat....they make a long float with a spring on the bottom end that holds you line in place, it does the same thing. I will see if I can find a link.
I'll be sure to check it out Tanks!! a million

Check out the above link....Shipahoy shares a lot of knowledge here on this site..page 1 Waggler set up.
I use a pear shaped slip cork.....it lays down nicely when a fish hits it when coming up.....I actually think most any cork would do that under those circumstances.....this is how I set mine up.....I used to use a hook with a leader attached to a swivel but now I just tie the hook at the end of my line....this set up shown is for using shiners and can also work OK for jigs....the tiny rubber football and pink plastic bead is called a "Bobber Stopper" and is available at Bass Pro Shop.....once you try these you will not use anything else......wet your line before adjusting it to reduce wear and make it slide easier....I replace the bead with one a little larger to prevent it from getting stuck in the first eye on the pole....

I always thought any bobber that wasn't weighted on the bottom would lay flat when a fish pushes it up.
They will .... IF the weight of the bait or sinker is lifted high enough by the fish. Even plastic bobbers will roll upside down, and wood or foam floats will lay on their side, when there's no weight below them to hold them upright.Quote:

Rigged this way, if the bite is up, the cork "POPS" up and if the bite has any downward motion at all, the bobber will sink.
It will. I like it when it pops up flat and before you can set the hook it goes out of sight. Its usually a good fish......or a bass. Ha.Quote:

I've used these from BP for years with a bobber stop and small split shot. They lay flat like you want.

Man, i appreciate the tip sometimes u are in the right place @ the right time u guy's have solved a mystery for me of at least i say it again, at least five years. i saw guys fishing the buck-brush on Kentucky lake and made it my business to try to find out how it was done. hours of internet browsing calls to bait shops in Kentucky. Now after asking the question in the manner that i did,i'm discovering several ways to accomplishment my goal."PROBLEM SOLVED
This works well for me.Quote:

or do a search for balanced bobbers.
The lead weight would have to be close to the hook so that the fish will "push or pull" the lead weight up enough to make the float lay down momentarily.
Haha Cane Pole you are right about the thills being good but I buy them and bp slip floats and if I break one off I go get it. These things are sometimes hard to find so I don't let them get away. I have some that are over 20 years old. They get a little wore out bait side of the tube but I will cut off about 1/8th inch of it with a razor blade and keep using them. So you didn't find any of mine. :)
The one Blackhawk 19 posted. I use the thill brand. They will lay down on a lift bite. I've only lost one, too far up the tree rotfl. Go get the rest.
I use 1/8 thill wobble bobber 90% of the time
