LOVE THEM!!!! Make sure to swing through the sewing dept and pick up a large sewing needle. It will make threading the "coil spring" type spring bobbers a breeze!!!

I never thought of that . Sounds like a great idea. I always double the line then send it through.
And yes they work great!!!

I beleive Frabil sells a threader as well....when in the sewing department look for needle threaders instead of needes, they will work even better

I couldn't find any long enough so I went with the needle.  4 or 5 to a pack ,I think 2 were big enough to use  for under 2 bucks if I remember right.

I personally own 2 St Croix Legends and absolutely love them!!!
I have outfished fellow fisherman 3-1 fishing next to me using
the same jig and bait just because of the sensitivity of the
spring bobber on the Legend rods. I totally recommend spending
the extra money on the Legends rods...you wont regret it!!!!

I just got back from the BPS and noticed Frabill did a little upgrade to there spring bobber this season. it use to have a little red paitn on the tip, but this year they have put on a little yellow plastic bead, should hold up better and be more visible then the paint

I had seen that, but I wonder if that will make them more or less susceptible to freezing up.

I love the frabill spring bobbers as well.   Might have to check out the new ones with bead on it.  Thanx for the info.

The new ones with the yellow beads are awesome you do not even need a needle to thread them just push it right through

???They are exactly the same except for the bead, the ones I threaded last night needed the needle.
