They are spring bobbers (is that what you call a twitch?). Either made out of wire, a coiled spring, or a combination of both. I haven't used a float in a long long time.

Don't know that there would be a limit other than how much you could put into it. You can easily haul 100 lbs with it though. More than enough for a solo overnight. I've used it to haul firewood.

What is the cylindrical white contraption with the black lead coming off it?
Is it a fish-finder?

I used to do a fair bit when I lived in Canada. We kept the rigs real simple with a baited hook or pickerel rig, weight and bobber. It usually took place in a shed on skids with a wood burning stove and some warming spirits if you were out for any length of time. I do miss it, thanks for sharing the pictures!

Yes. It will tell you if any fish are swimming below, the depth of the water, and how deep your jig is.

Possibly one of favourite pieces of technology. Whenever we go boat fishing I'm in the wheelhouse glued to the screen.
I don't go diving or anything and wanting to know what's under the water has always been a bee in my bonnet.
