i prefer the thin spring metal ribbon type with an eye on the end.  I secure them with a piece of tape.  Good fishing, might have some local ice by weeks end.

I really think any brand/type of device that heightens the sensitivity of your jiggin' rod will work equally well. last year i put the tightly coiled springd that fit into the end eye of my pole and probably tripled my catch of perch and crappie.

I use the flat ribbon type and they work really well. you can see all the action. the only advise i would have his to get the ones with the biggest eye hole on it you can find. this will help the problem of them freezing up in really cold temps.

Frabill Panfish Popper are nice. A little pricey and you have to make sure they fit in your last eye.

I have thorne bros rods which have an available spring bobber insert for them. They work good but they do tend to freeze up in the cold cause they are small.
