What bobbers are you guys using for night slip bobber fishing?
Glow in the dark or lighted?
Make?
Model?
I don't want keep my headlamp on a bobber, nor do I want to spook any eyes' from the area I'm fishing.
I will likely only be fishing from camp at night, but it would be nice to rig up a couple slip bobber set-ups.
Thanks for the information!

I use the same thing as bri - I've found that I've had better success regarding the longevity of the light if I actually remove it from the bobber and store it in my tackle box when done night fishing, vs. simply turning the light off and leaving it inside the bobber. Not sure why, but I seem to have better luck with the light working the next time when I do this.

The thill splash brite does not have a replaceable battery but has two electrodes that cause the bobber to light up when it hits the water. Pretty nifty. Make sure you don't buy one from a store that has dust on the packages as the unit may be 5 years old and won't last as long as fresh stock.

Nothing but Thill lighted bobbers for night fishing. I used to get the kind that had the tiny battery that you had to turn on when fishing. I now get the kind that light up when they hit the water.
