As to your question yes there are advantages of using different types, the less resistance the bobber has the less likely the fish is going to spit it out. Also the bigger the bobber the easier it is to see at night, unless it has a light on it.Chooch said:
Bobbers are a great technique to get your bait a certain depth, its funny to me that people will use a slip bobber then make fun of someone using the ole red and white bobber, when really they are doing the same thing. I use them mostly for catfishing at night, and setting up the kids for gills. I sometimes use them for crappie if fishing off a dock with a minnow.
