A lot of fun to fish panfish with on a fly rod
I love these. I use them mostly when bream and crappie fishing. I use a New Zealand strike indicator for trout. The only issue I have is they can get a knot in them which makes it difficult to remove or change depth. I wished they made a model with a smaller line grommet that would accept a worm fishing rubber peg. If using larger line the peg works fine and makes it easier to change depth and rarely do you get tangles. I toothpick works as well but I feel it is more likely to damage your line.There is something exhilarating about seeing the thing-a-ma-bobber pop up on the water when a crappie hits the fly. BTW.....the best crappie fly going is the Pink-a-Nator sold by Pop's Let it Fly fly shop in Pagosa, Colarado. Pop's graciously tied the fly to my specs. It is a woolly bugger that is white with a subtle pink under wrapping and white pearl flashabou palmered over it. It has a bright pink bead head. Crappie cannot resist it. On a recent trip I caught a few crappie on a jig under a cork with my spinning reel. I missed a lot of fish because they just weren't taking it. I rigged up the fly rod with a Thing-A-Ma-Bobber and a pinkanator and fished it about 18 in deep around some coontail grass....it was game on. I went from catching only a few to catching over 100...releasing most.
