[quote drowning_flys] I have spring bobbers on all of my uglystiks except the ultralights and they are more sensitive than the spring bobbers. do you really think that the totter type make that much difference ?
I know it was a crude fix but it saves poles,

Dude, I think your fix shows a lot of enginuity. It's a great fix. Do I think the JT makes that much difference? Yes. Even on my most limber rods, it helps to see the bites that you wouldn't see otherwise. I'm looking forward to seeing IPF's version made from PVC to see if the taller version is something I like.
JJ's miss a lot of fish, so will a JT, but how many bites are you missing on the JJ's that didn't even know you had. The JT won't set the hook for you, but I think my missed bites (when I'm actually looking at it) are close to zero. Besides, I like to set the hook anyway. That's one of my favorite parts (along with reeling them in, and landing them[
]).
