The dude is right.... on the day that he and I fished together, I didn't miss a fish. On the day that Leaky and I went out, I tied on a jighead that he had poured on a normal jig hook. I missed a couple cats that came unbuttoned on the hook set so I think the Matzuo's definitely give you a little edge on the hookup. The bobbers we were using that day were the standard red and white and I was using one of the slim weighted head bobbers. I just like it because the bright color makes it easy to see for me. Just a personal preference. [
] I love fishing the bobber from a tube and since the setup the dude showed me has worked like a charm so far, I'm not about to mess with something that isn't broken. [cool] I only wish I had tried this earlier... it would have saved me from wading "too deep" into water after cats and being soaked all the time. I used to use the sliding egg sinker method for all my cats and because I couldn't get my tube to hold still so I could watch the line for a bite, I just waded the shoreline. This new way is MUCH better for me... allows me to be more mobile and fish very effectively in a little deeper water.
