Great Bobber, Great Company

I hesitated to write this review because I wanted to test these bobbers out. I purchased a single bobber this summer and decided it was great, and wanted to try the rest. They all work similarly, but what I like most about them is both ease of use, and the visibility.
Over time, it seemed as if some of the clasps needed to keep the line in place cracked. After contacting Gapen, they graciously sent me better rubber replacements that look like they will work much better.

Great Bobber, Great Company. I will probably never use a different bobber again.

line stopper problem

The seam on line stoppers have cracked already. Cheaply made. The used to use a clear piece of rubber that slid over the line stopper. I bought a ten pack and five have the line stopper cracked.

Outstanding

I have been using the panfish style floats for a few years now, and nothing out there compares. These ride so high in the water and with the length and large bright flag you can see any action extremely well. My kids love them too, they make it so much easier to tell when they have a fish on. Highly recommended!

Best Panfish Float Ever!!

Yes it's a little pricey for a bobber, but trust me you'll be happy you purchased it. They're very sensitive bobbers and ride high in the water, which makes them visable even in choppy water. Your catch rate will improve with this bobber!!
