BFSC Kevin Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 After seeing young_one's successful mod to his rod to add the st croix spring bobber, I decided to do it to a few of my rods too. Original thread- http://www.ofncommunity.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=50635 Items used for surgery Rod repair kit from BPS @ $7.99 (contains three rod tips) St croix spring bobbers from JB @ $9.99 each or Radio world @ $7.00 but radio world only has one MH and one H left for this season Plastic things from home depot @ 0.24 each because the home depot I went to didn't have the wire grommets that young_one used Fits right into the rod tips My old spring bobber from BPS Home made on bottom, legend on bottom Home made on bottom, legend on bottom Legend rod in the middle with two of my home made ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toca Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) Interesting. Just One Question: Why Not Put The Rubber Gromet On The First Eye And Insert The Spring Bobber Directly? Just A Suggestion Thats All But Either Way I Like The Idea. Edited February 8, 2011 by ReTodd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFSC Kevin Posted February 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Hmm... I guess you could but I think it is best to have the spring parallel with the rod so it has that angle to it its the best spring bobber on the market! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFSC Kevin Posted February 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 I used the Frabil panfish popper ones before where you need to thread the line through the spring and I found it to always freeze up. Verrrry annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
