Rapala Titanium Spring Bobbers
« on: Feb 03, 2023, 06:57 AM »
I recently tried the ultralight Rapala titanium spring bobbers. Even with the smallest jigs make them point straight down. I think they are way too light and noticed they make a medium light. Has anyone tried both? I’ve tried other brands and found most to be way too stiff, so I don’t wanna blow another 10 bucks on another bobber that might not work. I tried to search on this but all the spring bobber posts are old old old. I use a lot of 3 mm and 1/64 jigs and even those were too light for the ultralight by Rapala. I tried moving them in, shortening them up, and these things are still way too light.

I use the.... Clam nitinol? (does that sound right?) spring bobber, and you can adjust the lenght to change the sensitivity. I love them, but there might be options out there to fit someone's preferences better

I use Ice Strong titaniums. And they come in several "strenghts" depending on jig size being used.

I agree, and have several of the Frabill on rods that have lasted many years.  Last year I bought 2 more and both were much weaker than before, bending them straight down on a 4mm tungsten.  I hope I just got a bad batch but you may want to start with one first.  I tried their customer service but that was worthless.  I just bought an Ice Strong but haven’t tied it on my rod yet.  I don’t like they are not adjustable, anyone have any mods to let you slide them in and out?

Frabill has no customer service, and their products have gone to hell.
