rod and/or spring bobber for 1/100 and 1/200 ounce jigs

(1/3) > >>

HI all,
Looking for a new combo for the season that will be good for the smallest jigs i have.
I'm a big fan of gill pills and ratsos and the smallest size in each are in that 1/200 ounce range.
Are there any noodles out there that will load up enough to see negative bites with this small of a jig?

or spring bobber rods that will work well for this size range?

I know the super ultralight ticklestick is rated for this but most ice rods dont list a weight rating

thanks for the help!

or if you want to use what ever your favorite rod is, just add these. you can see them breath on your bait with them. these adjust to different weights and clip on/off. so these are the most versatile indicator you can buy for many different rods.

Frabill Titanium Spring Bobber! My only complaint is that I wish they also made it with a green bead.

You are way off on your jig weight. Size 10 ratso is 1/100. Size 14 gill pill is also 1/100. Ive never seen a 1/200 jig, doubt a #10 hook weighs much more than that so you could just use a bare hook. I have some 1/124 jig heads and there is barely anything on them in terms of lead.

Ive never seen a spring load with a #10 ratso, a custom titanium might be the ticket
