Bobbers come in many shapes, sizes, colors and wiggles. The original bobbers were hand carved from wood and painted colors. The early commercial bobber was called the cherry bob. Bobbers come in various sizes as small as a pea and as large as a golf ball. They all have there water conditions in which they excel in getting the fish to bite. This is my personal bobber supply....ok not all of them ;-)
