Hang on you lost me there. I thought you couldn't cast with them so how do you fish them on creeks and streams? Or do you just use them just like a normal indicator? I thought the point was to be able to probe the depths, so why use a slip bobber shallow like in a creek?
Just trying to learn. Thanks!
