HERE'S
BRAND X
|
The photos at right show the damage to a Brand X slip bobber that I
actually used during the month of May, 1998, for weekend fishing on
my native Houghton Lake, Michigan. Note the deep cut at the bottom of
the center hole on the plastic stop bead, and also how the terminal
end is chewed up. The line I used was my personal favorite, 6 lb.
test TrileneTM XL monofilament. The
float was set at a depth of 8 to 10 feet, baited with a 1/16 oz. jig.
Remember, this damage was caused by mono; can you imagine what
something like FirelineTM would do?

Why should you care about this? Because using a float like this will prevent
you from catching fish. Your line will become snagged
in the cut in the stop bead, not allowing your bait to reach the
depth you intend, and worse, you probably won't know it's happening.
The damaged surfaces of the bobber will damage your
line, causing you to lose fish through break offs. I know these
things happen, because they've happened to me. And, if you use slip
bobbers, chances are that there is at least one in your tackle box
right now that looks about like this.

THE
ESB DIFFERENCE
|
That's why I invented the ESB,
the slip bobber that works better, faster, longer, every time! For
about the same price you're paying now for something that doesn't.
The photos at right show the ESB glass stop bead and
brass terminal end guard. I used this actual float for 4 months,
with mono and FirelineTM.
With it, I caught walleyes, bass, bluegills, sunfish, perch, pike,
trout, and one 12 lb. salmon. As you can see, it's not in the least
damaged. And if I hadn't cut it up so I could scan it for you, it
would work as well tomorrow as it did the day I made it.

Yes, it is a simple idea, but it produces the most
reliable and fastest slip bobber in the world. This is not about
having to plunk down a few bucks every couple weeks for new slip
bobbers - it's about whether you can trust a simple piece of fishing
tackle to do what it's supposed to do.
How much is your fishing time worth?
