Ummm. Yeah, so a spring bobber sucks for steelhead, but it was rigged to manufacturer's specifications. :p

He asked what was the "correct" way to rig the thill floats; not what was the "right" way to rig them.

I haven't had to jig and bobber fish in a while since we've been char and salmon fishing.

Follow what Osprey said, that's how you'll want to do it, and you can't stray too far in variation to his "right" way of rigging it. Works great. Who knows, one day thill will actually manufacture a bobber that doesn't need modifying.
