<p>I just wanted to share my favorite slip bobber rig for the past 2015 season.</p>
<p>2015 open water season found me fishing out of my kayak and limiting my supply of fishing rods to just 3 on board. An UL jigging rod, UL slip bobber rig and an UL drop shot rig. After weeks of tweaking slip bobber systems I ended up with this rig. Most of my UL fishing experiences were shallow less than 2 FOW casting under overhanging brush and next to dense weed slop or inside slop pockets of open water.</p>
<p>The rod I settled on is a Diawa Crossfire 562ULFS series rod with incredible value … under 20.00. the rod is a fast action tip for the first third of the blank and then quickly develops a significant back bone for the remainder . I believe this is the main reason it develops such accurate casting and flipping into tight targets. This system if used correctly I believe would eliminate the need for a long fixed rod for stealth. After some practice I was able to drop the bobber with a flip with a very quiet presentation.</p>
<p>This rig has caught some very large preds such as LMB hitting the 5# mark and N’Pike hitting the 30 inch mark. The large preds would dive and dig into cover and the power pro braid would cut thru the slop and veggies like a weed whacker.</p>
<p>The line is an important component in this configuration providing sensitivity, power, toughness and its inherent weed whacking ability.</p>
<p>The slip bobber is Pro series Thill providing sensitivity and stealth when entering the target area. Use enough split shot to balance the float to a neutral position.</p>

<p> I have fished a slip float for as long as I can remember but the other day I was fishing in about 20 feet of water and had run out of 'Bobber Stops'. I could have tied one of my own but couldn't be bothered. So just for the heck of it, I kept my set up the same and tried fishing without the bobber stop.</p>

<p>I would cast out and let my weight (two BB sized shot set about 6 inches above the hook) hit bottom. The float would rise to the surface and lay flat. I slowly tightened my line so I could barely feel the weight and the float would cock at about a 45 degree angle. The results were simply amazing, I could see the slightest tap. </p>
<p>Try it... Worked great for me...</p> Mail Call! Getting the itch!tag:bigbluegill.ning.com,2013-02-10:2036984:Topic:3509682013-02-10T11:50:18.798ZSlip Sinkerhttps://bigbluegill.ning.com/profile/SlipSinker

There are great spots to fish a slip float (slider) method but make sure it is necessary. If you are fishing from shore you can get away with a long rod to fish deeper. Because of the bulk shot being close to the hook, the slider is NOT as sensitive as a fixed float setup. This is why when float fishing I always have a 12' rod ready. I can fish fixed float method up to 9 feet comfortably with the longer rod, hook sets are easier with a lot of line out and controlling the float, line is much…

I can fish fixed float method up to 9 feet comfortably with the longer rod, hook sets are easier with a lot of line out and controlling the float, line is much easier. Now - in a boat, that's a whole different game. 12' is a lot of rod for a boat.
