This past weekend we spent a couple of days on Mille Lacs taking our usual horse whipping. I noticed a few people fishing with bobbers and even talked to a guy who had caught a nice 42" northern on the north end using a quick strike rig (He had pictures of it on his phone). Just curious how many have tried this method and if there is a certain quick strike to use or perhaps to stay away from. I do like casting but after 6-7 hours of that a little stick fishing wouldn't hurt my feelings. Hope this does not open a can of worms because that is not my intention. Thanks for any tips or comments!

Quick Strikes are very effective on bobber rigs, have seen that done too. I'm pretty sure any well made rig would be just fine, and one never knows what one will catch!

I've found the Maina Lift Off rigs to work the best for me. Herbie's are good also, but I like two trebles. Probably wouldn't be very hard to make your own too?

Maina, without question. Always make sure to buy bigger suckers because snake northerns love the 8 inchers. They cost $3 a piece and you'll go through 6 in a day. I'd say 12" minimum.
