Catch Crappie in Deep water with this Simple Bobber Setup (How to tie Slip Bobber)

[@joseantoniorubiogonzalez9602]

*Showed me exactly where **enjoyable.fishing** recommend fish were from the bank was amazed at how on spot it was! Love it very easy to use portable and kept a good charge was out 8 hours.*

[@HookLegends]

Nice demonstration of a slip bobber rig. It is my favorite setup and catches a lot of fish. Great video!

[@FloppingCrappie]

Thanks!

[@scottgates9075]

Thanks for teaching us newbies a new way to jig in deeper water. I don't think I would have thought to use a bullet weight. Also I got some of the new slip bobbers you show in this video. If I can find some deep crappie this week I'm going to try it out.

[@FloppingCrappie]

Good luck, let me know how it works for you

[@orlandogarza8347]

Thanks for the idea! Need to watch again to pay attention on how to actually rig it up start to finish!

[@troybatterton8053]

Pulled 25-30 out of Otter on slip bobbers and minnows. Really light bites though. Never been able to use plastic to catch crappie! Nice work!

[@randyslikkers1667]

Great technique! I might rig it that way from now on!

[@mikeshepard3602]

What is that blue plastic container you are holding your jigs in and where can I get one? I ty my own jigs but have not found a good way to stow them. I don’t want a ton of Plano boxes. Awesome and very informative video.

[@FloppingCrappie]

That is a gamakatsu 3600 box. Here is a link to it amzn.to/31cjeJt

[@rsapodaca3]

Thanks for the video, I just don’t understand how the line is going that deep with the bobber stop?

[@FloppingCrappie]

You can set the bobber stop to any depth that you want. Thr bobber stop will be inside your reel under you cast a certain distance away from the boat. As the jig falls, the slip bobber will slide up the line until it reaches your bobber stop.

[@ralphwitt9975]

Davis question< how are you tying on your jig? Why not tie a knot on the jig eyelet??

[@FloppingCrappie]

I tied a loop knot to the jig in the video. It depends on the style of lure I'm using, if I'm vertically fishing I tend to use a loop knot. If I'm casting, I will use an improved clinch knot or palomar knot

[@ralphwitt9975]

@@FloppingCrappie thanks, what’s the advantage of the loop knot? My thinking is just more line around the jig to spook fish??

[@ronaldphillips8750]

Under your current fishing conditions and location is slip bobber fishing better that vertical jigging fishing? How would you determine which technique to best to use?

[@FloppingCrappie]

Usually in clearer water I use a slip bobber setup. In muddy or stained water you can get away with vertical jigging.

[@ronaldphillips8750]

@@FloppingCrappie Thanks, that makes good since.

[@beebob1279]

Tungsten is also the only weight allowed in a few states anymore. I believe California is one. Just for water quality, when my lead is done I'll switch to Tungsten. I'm not sure if split shots can be purchased in Tungsten. Anyone know the answer to this?

[@jeremywyatt50]

Do you use 7/8 or 1 inch bobber? Does different sizes matter? Thanks

[@FloppingCrappie]

I try to match the bobber size with the weight of the split shot or bullet weight. Typically a 7/8" with work for either 1/16 or 1/8oz. Split shot. The 1 inch is great for 1/8 to 1/4 oz.

[@toddbogeart6757]

Great video dude always watching guess I better learn to slip cork rig I usually very 8 ouce or quarter at that depth CT em as deep as 65 ft heard of fish coming out of 90 great technique Davis.Dig it Chef🐟

[@cooperwoods499]

Great video! One question, does the bobber stop slide through the guides very well or does it get caught in the guides ?

[@FloppingCrappie]

For the most part it slides through the guides. Occasionally, with all bobber stops it may hit the the guides ear the rod tip as they are the smallest.

[@jasonshort2425]

Would this work for jigging for bluegill or casting Jigs with a slip Float?

[@FloppingCrappie]

Yes!

Does your rubber bobber stop get in you spool when reeled in?

[@frankashby6235]

What brand and type of bobber stop do you prefer?

[@jasonking5560]

Which size bobber are you using? Cool product. 7/8?

[@FloppingCrappie]

I believe either the 7/8" or 1 inch was used in this video

[@MrGibsn1960]

Is there an advantage to this over just adding a split shot 2 feet above the jig? Btw, I'll tie a single overhand knot where I want the split shot to stay.

[@cincinnatiking8008]

I just bought my first light rod yesterday. It's the Shakespeare micro series 7ft light. I bought me some 1/16 and 1/32 Maribou jigs and I'm going to give this a try. I've always fished for big blue catfish and flat heads. Sitting for hours waiting on a bite is getting boring. I'm ready to try crappie fishing

Okay. I am sold. By chance, do you have a discount code for the ACC crappie stix? Do you prefer the cork handle or the other handle? Ron

Unfortunately I don't have a discount code. The super grips have lasted longer than the cork grips ( been using both for 5 years now)

[@ronknight6400]

@@FloppingCrappie Thanks. Do you prefer the Pisciform reel in the ICX 5 model for this slip bobber method or is another model more apprpriate?

[@FloppingCrappie]

@@ronknight6400 I prefer the viper x size 2000 or 1000 will work. The icx 5 is a little small for the bobber stop.

This is the 8ft rod

[@mikevaccaro3874]

Flopping Crappie I was looking at them but thought you could tell me a model # and what action your rod is. So I could get the same one unless all 8 footers are the same

[@FloppingCrappie]

@@mikevaccaro3874 all the 8ft are the same action, the only difference is the grip. Some have cork handles and some have the super grip wrap. I have both styles of rods

[@mikevaccaro3874]

Flopping Crappie thank you

[@Nazman06]

I used a slip bobber rig in the hot Texas summer today. 20 feet of water. They were suspended 10 feet. The only problem is the bobber stop would get hung in the eye of my ACC 7 footer. I was using a size 3 bobber stop. I am going try the #2 size. Me and my fishing buddy caught 36 keepers.

[@bigdoggstatus99]

Watch a video on the bobber stop knot. Tie it on with 1 size larger mono than you're fishing with, if possible, it goes through eyes like butter. Rubber stops are a problem when casting to fish over ten feet deep. They grip eyes and over a few casts change your set depth. If this doesn't help, change rods. Seriously, micro guides suck for slip bobber fishing; hands down Worst fishing innovation of the 20th century.

[@jolynneburch]

Yeah I got the small plastic bobber stops and ran into the same issue

[@brianhavens7056]

How do you like the Garmin trolling motor??

[@FloppingCrappie]

So far I love it. I've never had a trolling motor with spot lock, at it is so nice when fishing in strong wind

[@russbeatse198]

Where do you purchase the rubber bobber stops? I can’t find them.

[@FloppingCrappie]

[@jamesleslie7007]

Does the bead weight do the same as the belt weight? Why?

[@FloppingCrappie]

The bullet weight helps get the smaller jig to right depth faster.

[@kerrys.5725]

Great video Davis! Going to try this for deep water Gills. Btw, can you send me the link to that feather jig box you showed? Been looking for one that size. I tie my own. Will tie some and send to you. The brand and size of box would be good if you don't have the link. TY! Would love to fish with you sometime. My home Lake is Rend Lake, IL. Could trade fishing trips if you want. We've got some Big Slab Crappies down here. I think you said you fished it. Just north of 3 Pound down at Little Egypt. I know the lake well.

[@fishnalldaygo]

I've been using a slip bobber to fish bait about 15ft down for bluegills. It works good in the beginning of the day but later on it seems like my line doesn't slide all the way to the bobber stop anymore. I've tried different bobbers, lines and sinker sizes and can't fix the problem. Do you have any suggestions?

[@FloppingCrappie]

You may need to re-tie your bobber setup after a while. I would strip off about 20ft of line from your spool then re-tie

[@fishnalldaygo]

I will give it shot and try this bullet weight as well.

[@mikesmith1191]

How do you measure your bobber stop ? For 12-18 ft

I use the length of my rod to estimate the slip stops depth

Some angler would say in really clear water, crappie will not hit on hi-vis line are larger diameter line. Hi-vis is great for seeing that soft bite especially when fishing around docks.

Ok. Do you use high vis line?

@@seektoreason4956 for some applications, like slip bobber or dock shooting, yes I use hi-vis

@@seektoreason4956 if you're fishing brush piles, most angler will use braid. If you're shooting docks or casting slip floats, I would recommend either mono or flouro.

I'd like to see a ruler on some of your 10 in. Fish hoss. I'm just saying.

Probable nerver get an answer. But why not just use a split shot and you wouldnt need the swivle. Just put it where you want it. lot cheaper.

You could use a large split shot, but the swivel will help prevent line twist. Which tends to happen when using 6pb monofilament

[@rogergoodwin374]

Slip float.

[@jasonmoore7328]

Use lighter line they want have time to swallow the bait. And better chances of survival.

[@jennifercolbert6581]

Got these thinking they were the slightly larger Panfish floats kzbin.infoUgkx_rJB7cli5f1ofPVGgn80S7Yj4vqwq0gU they work just fine. The smaller size lets me carry more in my tackle box, and the 3 color choices are nice for different lighting conditions, backgrounds, etc. They aren't the most durable things in the world. But, as cheap as they are, it's not heartbreaking to lose one or have to replace a worn one. The price on these fluctuates wildly, from about $9 to almost $16. So, time your buy accordingly.
