Have you seen this official thingamabobber pro-staffer tattoed anywhere yet? Don't even think about copying this sticker...it's mine! (and you can see it is copyrighted right on the bobba). If you get the sticker, no matter how you get it, you're in. That's right, love 'em or hate 'em if you are a nymph fishing fool, or a guide you have spent time crosseyed and glazed over waiting for your thingamabobber to bob. Great nymph fisherman are skilled enough to not have to purchase these things...that's not me. I need a bright floaty ball to warn me of strikes, and I'm proud of it. Old School: "Strike Indicator" and you get your hand slapped for calling it a bobber. This is still true if you take a spin fisherman out and they call it a "bobber" with out realizing it should be called a "strike indicator" to avoid the association with conventional tackle. New School: "Bobber" is allowed if it is obvious that the person saying it knows that it is really a "strike indicator" but since the word "bobber" is so retro and against the norm to say...it's cool. The new cool strike indicator trend = Black Thingamabobbers (fish can't see them as well and they contrast well against the glare of the sun). Pro-staffers know this. I am a thingamabobber pro-staff. I got the sticker.
