Any tricks to keeping spring bobbers from freezing up?

[Lip44Ripper]

When fishing outside my shanty hole hopping my spring bobber always freezes up n has cost me multiple fish... Any tricks out there or special line y'all use? Any help is much appreciated

Keep it dry...or..

If you are reeling in a lot, sometimes you have to melt it in your mouth..

I tried one once..lasted about 5 mins..I assume you mean the coil spring type..I just use the flat style.

Thats how I've been keeping it dry, my mouth but that gets to b a pain.
I'll have to try the silicone spray, thanks for the help

Cooking spray would be better for the environment. Just sayin'...........

The St. Croix spring dont freeze up cause the line dont go thru the spring.  Only the loop on the end the line goes thru, and sometimes ice's up just touch with your fingers and it falls off.  Have used these in below zero with very few problems!

I have used these for the past severasl years and they do freeze up but not as bad as the line thru ones. These are a great improvement over the others. I have used mine as low as -20 and the spring had got ice on it but nothing serious

The only thing that freezes is the loop where the line goes thru, if this helps.

This is true, but I have had the spring freeze a couple of times and when it gets that cold I don't stick my tonuge on it

If the spring freezes that quick you aren't pulling fish in fast enough!!

I make spring bobbers from guitar strings and they don't freeze just make the loop at the end bigger than normal..    it works great

i use a dropper rig, (2 hooks on the same line) so i dont have to use spring bobbers
