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.

Comment by Slip Sinker on September 27, 2013 at 12:32pm: I really like the spider wire stealth braid in bright yellow 8# test 1.5# test mono diameter.

Comment by Mike Martin on September 27, 2013 at 12:10pm: Ken, what kind of braid and weight are you using for bluegill? I may have to give it a try.

Comment by Slip Sinker on September 26, 2013 at 6:44pm: mike if you fish in timber you have to give braid a try

Comment by Mike Martin on September 26, 2013 at 12:16pm: 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:)

Comment by dick tabbert on September 25, 2013 at 8:02pm: 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.

Comment by Slip Sinker on September 25, 2013 at 7:57pm: 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

Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on September 25, 2013 at 7:19pm: 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.

Comment by DAVID L EITUTIS on September 25, 2013 at 6:04pm: SIMPLE LOOKING RIG MIKE !!!!!! IF it produces it's as good as it gets !!!!!!!!! HOw you like the Mitchell reel anyway?

Comment by LedHed on September 25, 2013 at 6:00pm: Very cool set up. I need to try this - would really work over the "tire reefs @ Lake Perris.

Comment by Leo Nguyen on September 23, 2013 at 2:14pm: 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.
