Slip Floating Trying to get it Right
5.5" Gill slip floated ,produces 19" Bass
Channel Cat took a Marabou/Mealworm Jig at 5' under a float
22" White Sucker took Crawler piece on a Yellow 16th oz Marabou Jig. Pear shape Balsa float pictured behind me.
Eagle Claw Pencil float...needs a bead so as not to split the stem at the base after constant banging against the jig head after casting .
Presentations that are working : AFTER CASTING AND LETTING FLOAT SETTLE :1) SLOW STEADY RETRIEVE 2) POP FLOAT ONCE OR TWICE , WAIT 3) SLOW 6" SWEEP FORWARD WITH ROD TIP,LET FLOAT SETTLE AGAIN

Need some input from my fellow slip float users. I love using slip floats but have a question conserning how you choose to rig them. I normally place a split shot on the line 8-10" above the hook, but have been seeing it rigged differently with the hook Above the weight.Do any of you fellas use this type of set up, and does it offer greater sensitivity for the bite? Your opnions will be greatly appreciated
