[QUOTE="reddevilwoodsman, post: 244577, member: 6118"] Yeah, I guess you could use the thread to mark bottom but I use the old style spring bobbers with the pen style springs on some rods and the thread knots tend to get hung up on them. I just always go by my depthfinder and it works for me. I suppose it depends on your spread and the type of spring bobber you're using. It might not work to cover every hole with a depthfinder. I always keep the bail closed and just pick it up and start reeling when I see a rod bending over or if it straightens out, much like reeling in a fish when using circle hooks. They usually hook themselves. It takes a while to get the hang of it, but it works well once you do. [/QUOTE]
