WARNING: California’s Proposition 65

Product Description

The aerodynamic shape and internal weighting system makes the Thill Wobble Bobber the longest-casting slip float you can buy. Whether targeting a specific rockpile, drop-off, hump or brushpile a long cast from shore or throwing to various pieces of cover or structure from a boat, no other slip float gives you the distance and accuracy you can attain from the Thill Wobble Bobber. This shape and weight also gives the angler another advantage – each wave produces an exaggerated jigging action to the bait or jig below. High visibility orange and chartreuse makes it easy to see at these great distances, and it comes in six sizes for everything from panfishing to walleyes to salmon and steelhead.

Customers find the fishing hook easy to see in the water, even when it's wavy. They say it'll be a great indicator for deep water midging, and it floats adequately for judging fish action. Customers also mention that it creates extra action under the water which allows them to do less.

Love these floats and the fact they "wobble" in the water. I did have some issues getting lighter line through the float but eventually did.
I did lose one when I snagged on a log fishing from the bank so I swam out to get it. These are kinda spendy and I'm not proud....

Casts far, it’s different

Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2024

Color: multicolourSize: 1/4 ozVerified Purchase

You can cast this thing really far, but I had a hell of a time getting thin braid to go through it without it getting caught on the brass eyelet at the end of the bobber. One of the times it was so frustrating. I actually threw the seven dollar barber into the water because I didn’t want to deal with it again when it is finally on or if you use thicker breed or mono it works nice but I do wonder if a finicky fish or light biting fish would notice the extra pressure from the larger barber and the resistance that it would cause compared to a slimmer thill bobber. I did catch walleye, bass, perch, crappie and gills with this but on some of the smaller or lighter biting i would have to set the hook before it was all the way under or the fish would swallow the hook and or steal your bait. These barbers you have to make sure you are not touching the bottom. If it’s slightly touching, they will still stand up enough and you won’t realize you have a fish on that was more noticeable, when fishing in ponds, or in shallow water, these are very nice when it is windy and create extra action under the water which allows you to do less work and a very little wrist movement will cause that barber to move a ton. You’re used to fishing with a smaller thinner. Barber little waves may trick you to think you’re getting a bite , it took a little bit to get used to. Overall they have a spot in my tackle Box , but they will not replace the original thill balsa bobbers unless it’s windy.

I love this when I’m fishing for panfish. Slip bobbers help you cast further, but the Lindy Thill is light enough that the fish won’t notice it when they are hungry. Hence, it won’t scare the fish away as the nibble. Best panfish slip bobber you can buy.

Good slip float; must use ingenuity to thread on 4lb test

Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2022

Color: multicolourSize: 1/4 ozVerified Purchase

For it's quality and castability, this float deserves five stars. However, as several posters have noted, it's very difficult to thread onto your line. Doubling the line works for 8lb test mono, doesn't work for 4lb test mono. I know, I spent a good hour; my daughter spent another hour trying to get it on. I finally used one of my daughter's bobby pins straightened and tied to get the line on. Once it's on, it's great.
