"The Rocket Bobber can be used by anyone from a novice on his first fishing trip to a seasoned veteran with many tricks and stories, and was designed with this flexibility in mind. Here are some tips to get you started."

Cast It Long Distances: The ROCKET Bobber TM and ROCKET Bobber Jr. TM will allow you to cast unbelievably long distances (30-40 yards) on average with no weight of any kind attached to your line. Wrap your line three times around the “J” hook when attaching bobber to line in conventional bobber mode to prevent slippage. Light to medium action rods with 6 to 10 lb. test line works best when using the ROCKET Bobber TM, ultralight rods with 4 lb. test line works best when using the ROCKET Bobber Jr. TM.

Fish It On Its Side: The bobbers are designed to lay flat on their sides with a minimum amount of weight (jig or split shot) attached to your line. Unique “lever arm action” detects even the slightest, fish bite. Fish feel little or no resistance. When a fish takes your bait, the bobber will start to move and/or start to stand up off the water’s surface, set the hook – it’s that easy!!! Note: Small jig or BB size split shot and hook are recommended.

You've never used a better bobber!

Detect The “Lift Bite”: On calm days, we suggest you get the bobber on a 45-degree angle. To accomplish this, simply attach enough weight (jig or split shot) to your line to get the bobber to rest on a 45-degree angle. When the bobber begins to lie down, set the hook – it’s that easy!!! Aggressive fish may cause the bobber to stand upright or pull the bobber under the surface, set the hook – it’s that easy!!!

Fish It As Slip Bobber: Simply, depress end cap, exposing “J” hook, and turn end cap 180 degrees to the up position. Fasten stop knot to your line, then clip the bobber to your line below the stop knot. No more threading your line through the bobber thus causing drag or resistance when fishing light presentations. Note: 1/64 to 1/8 ounce jigs are recommended.

Fish It Vertical: To use in a vertical position, we suggest that you attach enough drop weight (jig or split shot) to your line to float the bobber so the center weight chamber floats just below the water’s surface. With only the stem above the water’s surface the ROCKET Bobber TM becomes virtually, neutrally buoyant. The fish feels little or no resistance. Note: #3 size split shot for ROCKET Bobber TM , #5 size split shot for ROCKET Bobber Jr. TM are recommended.

Use It As A Hook Remover: The LUCKY Fish HOOK REMOVER TM allows you to release fish fast and easy…even with deeply set hooks. For deeply hooked pan fish or small trout; insert LUCKY Fish HOOK REMOVER TM on tip of bobber into the mouth of the fish, maintaining a slight tension on the line, place the hook remover on the bend of the hook, push down gently backing out the hook, then remove the hook – it’s that easy!!! Note: LUCKY Fish HOOK REMOVER TM are on both the ROCKET Bobber TM and the ROCKET Bobber Jr. TM.

Fish It At Night: The NIGHT STALKER variety of Rocket Bobbers is designed especially for night fishing. A two-minute charge with any light source will give you up to 30 minutes of glow time!

Fish It Through The Ice: ROCKET Bobbers TM are also great for ice fishing using any of the above presentations.

Thanks and good fishing from all of us at Tackle 2000 Inc.!
