They look lie little ice floats.

Placement depends on the bait Carl........tipping can actually  serve to float the smaller baits so its a finesse game.........I:m running low as I have only seen them in one shop ever...........

cool trick Jeff;;  I generaly use colored mono line; ( high viz  in yellow or green)  and keep a sharp eye out for any type of twitch.  Just might have to try your idea soon !

Now that's a new one on me...bobbers actually below the surface.

As these waters chill I try to use floats/bobbers that will just barely suspend the jig...regardless of size. I have some 1.5 in cigar shaped foam floats that will barely hold a 1/64th oz jig...a 1/32nd will sink it. As the waters continue to drop I'll downsize the jig all the way to 1/200th oz and keep the same float. Often during that time, the float will tilt up, indicating an 'up bite' as tension is released from the float.

Cool stuff!

Thanks for the info Jeffrey I'll put in  my things to do list.

If I was confident in using lighter line Dick I may chose not to use an indicator but these little additions help me read the sudden or even subtle movements that occur when a fish strikes on line with a minimum of 10 pound test.......it does take some getting use to since you're fishing a submerged marker but the right sunglasses and boat positioning help to minimize the negative.............amazingly high strike to catch ratio using this technique for me........
