I am having a hard time coming up with a reason why I would want a spring bobber on a rod 36"+.
For standing up and fishing bluegill/crappie. Point the rod tip down over the hole and watch it.
I'm with fry on this one...I need a couple beers and a knee for a rest to get those st croix spring bobbers to stay still. That may just be me though.
Yeah and every slight breath of wind and shake from your hand makes the tip wiggle. Sounds like people use spring bobbers when fish are biting hard enough that they do not need spring bobbers and/or they are using a rod too heavy for the task at hand.
Can you imagine what that jig must be doing when you are shaking and that spring bobber is bouncing? up down up down up down up down... fish are probably looking at it like "what the f is that?"
