Do you love big bluegill?
My Favorite Rig
I slip bobber fish almost 95% of the time. I've had this rig for 7 or 8 years. A BPS 6' IM8 light action rod, with a Mitchell 308X reel. I use 4lb. Trilene most of the time. I've caught a lot of Bluegill with it.

I really like the spider wire stealth braid in bright yellow 8# test 1.5# test mono diameter.

Ken, what kind of braid and weight are you using for bluegill? I may have to give it a try.

mike if you fish in timber you have to give braid a try

Yep Dick your right. I fish in timber a lot of the time so I normally cut off the last 6' before I go and re-tie. Looks like it's time to re-spool:)

Mike you might want to add some more line to the reel it looks like it could be a little shy there buddy. I also have a couple Mitchell's oldies but goodies.

Love the mitchell line of reels I gave my father one as a gift 35 years ago and I have now inherited and retired it... still works perfectly
Slip bobber fishing has been my mainstay now for a few months after reaggrivating pinched nerves in my neck and arms ... i was surprised how productive it this technique is after casting baits all these years.
Darn... you should of opened your bait box so we could of stole a few tips.
Thanks for sharing

When spin fishing, that sort of thing is my go-to.
For serious casting of really light baits, I go to a 7' spin-fly rod. But for most other bluegill spinning chores, that sort of thing gets the nod.

Simplicity at its finest. No one dares to argue with you on a layout like this. I wish I can say the same for my rigs.
