This is great if you use rarer tackle like theCuriosity Lure.
We highly recommend using this bobber style if you’ve got an Advanced Iridium Rod handy. However, ifyou’re using just a plainIridium Rod, we don’t advise it. You’ll be taking up a valuable tackle slot without gaining any extra benefit, other than the novelty of having a bobber that looks like the Mayor’s shorts.
Keep in mind, this trick won’t work with the Trimmed Lucky Purple Shorts. You need the original pair for this special feature.
