Jeremy,you Southern Boys got it going with Panfishing and slip corkin' .Thanks for your instructive post.I used slip floating from shore successfully mostly in April and May ,sometimes I'd wade, last year.I was catching prespawn and early spawn Crappie and Gills mostly here in small NorthJersey lakes.

Well Ill be! I been usin this and aint even know what it was called. I just called it my ole slidin cork! haha. We mostly fish for crappie with this rig. I have a few BnM 12 ft crappie poles with eyes on it and lil uncle bucks 1:1 reels on em. Now most of the time were fishin water thats anywere from 6ft to 15ft. Its a strait up and down technique due to the fact that its in the heaviest cover we can find most of the time. Slip floatin as you call it is a killer technique. Allows me way more control to vertical fish in tree tops. Weight from the cork is at the bottom so its less likely to have to fight the wind to drop it in coffee can size holes.

The coolest thing I started doing was rigging my BnM 13 ft bream busters. Telescopic poles with slip corks. Since you have all the weight of the cork sittin at the bottom it makes it so easy to control the swing so that you can get under docks, shoot inbetween stumps and slide it into undercut banks.

I use a basspro stopper meant to be used with up to 8lb test, cheap ole walmart 8lb line, 1/8 bullet weight squeezed at the head on the line, hook of choice and a split slip cork. ERNGE and WHITE! Most people dont like the split cork but I personally love em. I may wanna turn around and drift in the middle of the creeks and set up kinda redneck spider rig and I need to get my corks off with out reriging. Works great for me but every scientist has a right to there opinion.

Take a kid slide corkin!

Jeremy as I know it ,it's a method using a float that slips to a stop instead of using a fixed float.The stop gets slipped around on the line until the depth is reached where fish are holding and biting.The stop will hold it there .If the holding depth of fish is deep its advantage over a fixed bobber is that you can reel the stop thru the line guides and have a short compact slip bobber/ hook /bait package to cast farther and more accurately

Now whats your definition of slip floating?

Ended up using Eagle Claw rubber bobber stops and a golden eye Foam slip float most of the time last year ...Pflueger President UL reel and a Cabelas Easy Touch 7 ' rod.Caught lots of Gills, Seeds, Crappie and Perch and a few Bass and Pickerel.Want to get another panfish slipfloat rod with bigger rod eyes so the stop gets through easier with less friction for distance casting.
