We call them Stick Bobbers, and they work pretty good. I crossed over from the dark side of the norm and began using them about 2 years ago. The cool feature about them is, if you match the stick bobber with the weight rig you're using, they'll stand up when you get a hit. In other words, say you're bream fishing. You put a very small split shot on and a small hook. Now, match the size bobber you need so that when your line is casted out, the bobber stays laying on it's side. When you get a bite, the bobber will stand on end.
Some people don't like it set up like that, but I do. To me, it's easier to judge when to set the hook, and over all just catch the strike.
You can get a set of "spring bobbers" from walmart for like 99 cents. They work just as good as the ones that cost 99 cents a piece. [cool]
