I usually just jig or troll, don't have any real experience with bobbers.
While at the store, I took a look at the round clip-on balls, and the stick versions that use a spring to lock onto the line.
My first thought was that if a large aggressive fish were to strike, then the the wire clips or spring might weaken the line at that area.
Anyone experience this? Is it fine as-is or should I use a length of braided line at the place of attachment?
PS...I'm using 6 and 8 lbs mono filament. Casting into a river from shore or dock and letting current take line further out using float.
