Spring sounders

[jibbs]

I think I have one left…I use to buy them at Merrimack bait and tackle..not sure they have them anymore ..curious if any other folks have run across these types in Nh..these on eBay are like 15 bucks each which is ridiculous ..just curious

[Roccus]

 they are hard to find, I have several plus some of the alligator clip types...

Donny Nukem, passed away last spring I think Cross roads B&T took the place over

I have some of those.  I hate them!!!  I much prefer the aligator clip type.  Much easier to deal with and get on and off the hook with wet cold hands.

Out of curiousity why do you like them?

Never seen the spring style before, I've got a couple of the roach clip kind but usually use sonar to set my button.

[Raquettedacker]

Only kind  I have ever used..

I'm pretty sure I've seen spring style sounders at Walmart. Not that exact one, but ones made by HT.

I still have a few of the spring ones, not much paint left on them. Believe they came from Taylor’s Trading post

[Raquettedacker]

Heehee..
   

[winnicookie]

Fish whistle/depther multi tool!

Alligator, bottom bouncing, leaded thingamabob thingie!
I have one or two somewhere, replaced by sonar! 😊

Bass casting sinker with split ring attached to an alligator clip.

I actually don’t use them I just use my flasher.

I like them because they tend to stay on the hook better than the aligator clip ones or maybe it’s just the nostalgic factor of my uncle making home made ones and giving them to us for Christmas

I borrow stuff like that I always give it back. That sux man. I hear that

Wayne had some at Lewis bait in concord last year and I bought 1 but the spring wasnt as tight as the older ones and it popped off my size 6 hook and dropped to the bottom..delt with the alligators after that

[bassin212]

I prefer the spring type as well. Every time I see them, I buy them. I've definitely seen them in NH every now and then. Trying to remember where I've bought them. I don't go to a ton of different bait shops so I'm thinking most likely I may have seen a few back when AJ's was open or maybe Tackle Shack. Could have been W.H Sports as well....

I drill a small hole in the clip to put the hook through and put the rest of the hook between the teeth of the clip.I never lost one after that. Thank me later.

I had a couple of the spring ones - unpainted - think I got them at County Stores years back... next time I'm in I'll have to look.  Usually use the clip style cause I can easily hang it on my jacket/bibs.

Haha yes! I pulled out my gear and found one still stuck to my wool vest!

hey J. This is the only style I'll use as well. Hate the clip style. The last time I bought some was at Suds. But I think Jason who is now at Pawtuckaway trading post, is stocking them.
Hope you do well at the Rock this year!
