[quote=mark poulson;79857]My partner gave me a plastic bobber stopper to try, and it works even better. quote]

Can you give me a little more info on this one... Are you talking about the metal piece inside the plastic bobber or what??

Thanks!!!!

I think he is using a stopper on the backend near the point?

[ghostbaits]

I think that also but was wondering what part of the bobber he was using...

I use something like the blue part of the bobber stoppers Dinkmaster posted.
After I screw my hitchhiker into the ribbit, and clip it onto the hook eye, I slip the bobber stopper onto the point, and push it around until it's just past the bend. Then I texpose the hook through the ribbit's bottom, and push the bobber stopper back down around the bend until it snugs up against the underside of the ribbits bottom. I push it up until the ribbit has a sway back a little. That seems to force the nose up so it swims right side up without adding any weight, and it also makes the legs a little more active, since they're forced up as well.

I get the idea, I may have to buy stoppers for heavier line, the ones I have here localy to choose from are for like 4lb line & Very hard not to rip getting it on the hook. Seems to work, though. Thanks Shane

where do you get those weighted hooks and what size are they

[mark poulson]

When I use weighted hooks, I use 4/0 and 5/0 weighted hooks by Falcon. They were the first to offer weighted hooks that size. Now a lot of hook manufs. offer them.
I'd type "weighted hooks" into the search feature at Cabela's, Bass Pro Shops, and Tacklewarehouse.com, and see what each site has.
