If you want more of them, you must have had some success using them.
How about a quick review?

Thanks!

They work ok, but if your drifting with circles, they cause you to miss a lot of fish, too much slack in the line to absorb before the weight of the fish and they will drop the bait before line gets tight. Make sense?? If your having good luck with them, let me know...Lots of discussions on these in the past on the BOC if you want more info.

when drifting or trolling for cats they allow you to widen your path just like planer boards on walleye but they are a floating bobber, Youtube catfish and planer bobber, several folks using this out there with success. we looked into doing this some about a year or two ago and afterresearching it never gt into them.

I have been using them for years, I think they work good. I do use a 5/0 circle with 1/2 ounce sinker using cut shad. I try to keep them about a foot above the bottom. When drifting we use them on the outside rods and inner rods riding the bottom. I did find the site which is bitosense.com.
