TO PURCHASE SLIP BOBBERS/BOBBER STOPS - amzn.to/3vgdUqs

[@panther105]

Can't believe I'm this old (never mind how old) and have never bothered to understand how slip bobbers work. They always just looked weird. Cork float, usually home-made with center dowel jam line adjustment has been all I've known from birth. Really well explained and using the dark thicker line was a great idea. Thanks a lot..

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

You are welcome, thanks for the feedback.

[@flashy5150]

This is probably one of the most helpful videos about fishing that I've ever seen.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Wow, thanks for that comment, KPO.

[@tefarurumonico7173]

These are small floats kzbin.infoUgkx_rJB7cli5f1ofPVGgn80S7Yj4vqwq0gU recommend the package is smaller than my hand just to provide perspective. That said I wanted small floats for the times I need to add one when trout fishing or fishing for panfish. The peg is perfect for my application where I want a set hold point that is quickly adjustable and want to be able to add the float without retying. That’s the real advantage here. You can add this float to your line without retying and adjust the depth easily with the peg so it won’t kink your line like a traditionalit. If I need to set this too deep then I’d switch over to ait with a thread stop to make casting easier. But like I said, these are a great value for the price I paid. Probably better suited to applications where your depth is 5-feet or less for the sake of casting.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

yes!

[@NMranchhand]

Nice presentation, thank you. Doing a similar thing in ocean fishing, we tie a small piece of smaller diameter mono on the main line with a nail knot for a stopper. It stays put but slides with a firm pull. I didn’t see it among your alternatives, so I hoped to contribute something worthwhile.

[@218Mike]

Dave, I learned a TON from this video! Thank you for taking the time to share your insight. Your teaching style is superb! Henceforth I shall address you as Professor!

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

[@HeRulesAlways]

Like most who are older, we probably started with the ball bobber as this was as good as it got. Great explanation of the various types. I completely agree with you on the 4 hole stop - it is the best option on the market and definitely the one that I personally use exclusively.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

[@battlesox9565]

Very useful information. I like how you presented the pros and cons with using each version but didn't eliminate them from the arsenal. You said what worked for you and I think that I will give this set up a try as ASAP! Thanks...

Always wondered how Thill bobbers and bobber stops worked. Excellent presentation, very informative. Thanks for posting.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Here is a slip bobber playlist if you're interested, kzbin.info/aero/PLksX0m4wrQHzY42vxvoV7scmG2dwPU84g Thanks for the kind comment, KPO.

[@dmund222]

Actually, if you look at the round snap on bobber you started with you can turn the wire loop (on the bottom) toward the shallow indent on the bottom. and you have a slip bobber! Each of those bobbers has 2 positions, one clips tight, the other allows the bobber to slip. Just need to use a large enough knot and stopper bead to not go through the larger loop. I do prefer the inline slip bobbers as they present less resistance to the fish. However if you don't have one of them, you can use the old ones we started with over 50 years ago.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Good point to bring up, KPO.

[@jacksonvillereclaimedwood6709]

Great video! Good detail on the types of stops. I use the string type but I tie them myself. A double uniknot makes a good bobber stop. I will be trying the 4 hole plastic one you talked about.!

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

I'm also liking the 2 hole dog bone more and more lately. KPO

[@bmcs18]

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Hey thanks for the feed back. I hope we have football, KPO.

[@jayrobertson232]

One quick bit of advice to your audience: like you say, location is important, so if you’re casting out to a specific spot (I like to work dropoffs), a small technique will keep the setup where you intend it to be. Cast to your desired spot, then as soon as it hits the water, give it a bunch of slack line. With a long spinning rod setup, this is as simple as making an upward sweep of the rod, with the bail open. Watch how the line then travels to the bobber until it comes to the stopper, standing up the bobber. Then you can close the bail, take up any remaining slack, and wait for jaws to suck in your jig n leech! Slip bobber fishing is technical, but very simple and effective, once you get the hang of it. Thank you Sir.

[@joracer1]

You can just tie your own with 6 or 8 mono, floro, braid or what ever you have, no need to buy anything....takes 30 sec plus no need to re rig the whole thing.... just take a 10" piece of line make a loop hold with you main line, then run one end thru the loop 6 to 10 times (the more times the tighter the grip) then pull each end until the knot tightens, cinch down clip tag ends 1/8 th" and your done....

[@freddiegonz4113]

Uni knot around the main line

[@RedfishGB]

that’s my favorite, just hard to find beads with small holes that won’t pass the stop. I tie these with 20# fly line backing. works well on braid

[@randysannicolas855]

Great video and Dave really explained it very well on different types of slip bobber techniques. Great Job!

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

[@crappiesniper]

Great video!!! I stopped using the string ones years ago for the same reason... I use the rubber ones ...maybe ill give the 4 hole ones a try...always striving for a better outing ...👍

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

[@jimbranham2825]

How to tie a tautline knot?

[@maybonphuongtroi9281]

The football rubber sometimes slide back a few feet after you reel in a fish . As the result , after fighting and catching a fish , you have to keep pushing the "foot ball " back up to the depth that you desire .

[@crappiesniper]

May Bon Phuong Troi wow I've never had that problem with the bass pro shop rubber stopper... But the Orange ones are horrible... I wouldn't use those if they gave away free of charge..

[@maybonphuongtroi9281]

Thank you . I will go get some today . Last week I limited out ( 25 a day ) for 4 days when i went to Lake Jordan NC . These fish were good size , average 10 , 11 " Some reach 1-2 lbs . ( Legal size is 8 ") . I am going back tomorrow and will stay there 4 days .( I have no boat , just fish off the bank )

[@herbalbert1810]

For a cheap way and easy try a single strand of a rubber band (small in dynamiter) tie a single right knot around line pull tight trim ends slides good and lasts quite awhile. clippers and 1 rubber band last forever.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Yes, years ago I would use the for ice fishing. Thanks for watching, KPO.

[@ahmadalghali90]

small in “dynamiter”? 😂🤣 are you trying to blow us up

[@ahmadalghali90]

Im just joking ... its (diameter) not to offend you but maybe you didnt learn it? because its basics of the basics in maths

Really a practical video. I’ve been fishing for 60 yrs or so but still enjoyed watching. Great video for young people and inexperienced people who are starting out. Fish man fish

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Thanks 👍

[@manuelchuman417]

Thank you for sharing this video. I’m ready for something fishing this spring

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Manual, you are welcome. I hope this helps you get a few more fish this spring, KPO.

[@MrBilld75]

I use and prefer the string ones and the trick to get them to not loosen and work again and again, is to put just a little dab of super glue/krazy glue (cyanoacrylate) on them. Do this when you first put them on and they are tightened down. Use just enough to soak the cloth though and not glue it to your line hard. It will get glued to the line a little, but just move them a bit with your nail to release them to slide up and down the line. They will stay tight and you can use the same one many times over. They still pass through line guides fine. Just make sure the glue dries before you reel it onto the spool or cast it out cause it will cause problems if not. Super glue dries pretty fast anyway and it's a good thing to have in your tackle box anyway, cause it helps close cuts or hook pokes really well. So it serves two purposes.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Bill, never heard of that one. Sounds like it works pretty good. May have to try it. Thanks for adding in. KPO

[@MrBilld75]

Makes knots in fishing line hold better too/prevent slippage. It's a must in my tackle box.

[@manuelchuman417]

Thanks Great idea

[@dburton271]

Great Video!! the only question i have is, how flexable are the 4 hole ones?? i do ALOT of ultra light tackle, but i love to fish deep water Gills. that means i need a good flexable stop, so when i cast and respool the line back on, it needs to be bendable. Thank You, and Tight Lines from the 505!!

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Dave, Some of the manufacturers will have a recommendation for the size line you use with them. It has to do with the size hole on the stop itself. Like this one is for 4-8pd test and this model is for 8-12pd test. So keep that in mind. You know lately (since I did this video) I've been using the 2 hole dog bone more and more. The problem with the 4 hole is if you put a stop recommended for 8pd test on 4pd test it may slip. Then you throw low diameter braids into the mix and it can get confusing. With the dog bone, if it slips on you, you can just wrap it one more time until it holds. Now it's still true that if you move the dog bone several feet you will have to untwist the line. So I still like the 4 hole for large depth changes as long as it's matched up to your line correctly. I've used both styles on 4pd mono, it's been awhile, but I don't remember any issues. (just get the right size 4 hole for the line your using) Thanks for watching, I hope this helps and let me know how it all works out for you, KPO.

[@kenlynn340]

[@pretzelsandmustard9034]

Extremely informative on most all slip-bobber stops. I really enjoy your videos. I use the string slip knot style stop and wet it before I crank down on it and then cut the ends. I use 15 to 20 lb braid (about 6 lb mono diameter) for most all of my slip-bobber fishing and the string holds well to the braid. I’d like to try the slip stop that you use. The football type hangs up on my guides and moves position almost every cast (with braid).

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Only time I ever had success with the football ones is when I was ice fishing. Of course no casting, you're just feeding the line out by hand. Thanks for the support, KPO.

[@paulnagy7496]

Excellent. I've been doing it wrong. Moved to the Midwest from the east coast ..... No walleye or slio bobbers.... See lots out on the WI waters.... Hopefully the kids won't laugh at Dad asking the bait shop over and over about slip bobbers .... Thanks

I hadn't seen how to use anything but the 2-hole slip setup. I dearly hate the line twisting when I make BIG depth changes. So now I'll be looking into using the 4-hole slip setup to see how it works and stands up. And since we do fish in fairly shallow water quite a bit of the time AND I do still have some clip-on bobbers I think I'll try working with those the next time we go out for shallow fishing. Thanks for the very informative video.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

In early April my family are going on vacation to an area near lots of good river and lake fishing spots, and our daughter is excited about using her very own rod & reel for the first time. She really wants to see what happens when you actually catch a fish. She almost 7 so I’m hoping that rigging a slip bobber will give her a good shot at it /vs/ cast & retrieve, which she is still learning to do repeatedly. Unfortunately it’s been years since I went fishing with serious intent to catch fish, and I have never rigged a slip bobber. Your discussion and demonstration are very clear and useful. Thank you! I will try to remember to update this comment after we return with our experience.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Awesome! Yes I think live bait and bobbers are the best way to get kids interested in fishing. Definitely let me know how things go on the trip! KPO

[@dougjb7848]

@@KnettersPracticalOutdoors Hello, thank you again for the instructions on slip bobbers. Adjusting the four-hole bobber stop was just as easy as you showed it to be. Daughter caught her first fish on her very own - chose how deep she wanted me to set the bait, cast it herself where she said she thought the fish were, waited and watched the bobber as the fish nibbled, then set the hook and reeled in. None of the fish we caught were greater than 6” but she had a great time, and we live near some good fishing areas so we should be able to pull in some keepers during spring and summer.

Great video brother, my Grandson and I will give it a go ! Thanks

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Reggie, please let me know how the slip bobber fishing works out for you. Thanks for watching, KPO.

[@johngrffith5852]

Thank you for the video! great instruction!

John, if you enjoy fishing with slip bobbers you may want to check out my other slip bobber vids, "Slip bobbers - tricks for setting the depth" and "The best slip bobber set up for walleyes". Thanks for the comment, KPO.

[@adrianaguilar984]

Another excellent video, I like your style. I'm going to have to try some of those 4-hole stops. I use the string/knot stops and they're great, when they work properly. I've had them come loose or knot up too...

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Within the 4 hole style there is actually different holes sizes for different pound test line (line diameter). Some brands don't designate a pound test but others do. Heaver pound test line sometimes won't fit the smaller holed ones and lighter pound test may slip in the larger holed ones. Generally I've found 6 to 12 pound mono works with all of the 4 hole styles I've used. I mentioned it in the vid, but if you don't adjust your depth very much the dog bone (2 hole) ones are also a good option. Thanks for the comment. KPO

[@joedoakes8778]

Thanks. I ordered some Rainbow Plastics Gizmo Bobber Stops. They claim a 2# to 12# range, which is just perfect for me.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Perfect!

[@Bobb1julie]

Nicely presented..A mostly appreciated style of fishing in my senior years since I have retired from fly fishing

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

It's easier on the arm right! KPO.

[@Bobb1julie]

@@KnettersPracticalOutdoors 👍and thank you again .Caugh trout #48 yesterday .A 15 Rainbow..A beauty ..My goal is 50 then onto the salt .. Stay well my friend

[@ronuhlenhopp9368]

The red four hole bobber stops are the only ones that work for ultra-light spin reels and rods for stream trout and panfish. I routinely use 2 - 4 pound test .005" diameter line so I need the slip bobber rig to go on and off the reel smoothly and without kinking the fine spin fishing line. Thanks so much for showing the various slip float products and the strengths and weaknesses of each.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

You are welcome, thanks for adding in, KPO.

[@biggidybennedy]

Superb video. I'm making a trip to the BWCA and plan to slip bobber my way to a walleye lunch and this video cleared up a lot of my questions on the bobber stop aspect of it.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Sounds like you have it under control, but if interested I have a slip bobber playlist LINK - kzbin.info/aero/PLksX0m4wrQHzY42vxvoV7scmG2dwPU84g It includes my favorite set up for walleyes. Thanks for the comment, KPO.

[@chiprobisonpharmd-pgxclini253]

Nicely done Dr. Knetters ! We're homies here in Georgia with lakes recently stocked with Walleye....now we know how to get after them !! Cheers, Dr. Clikk Atlanta

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Sounds good! Lakes stocked with anything for the first time tend to be great fishing for several years. Take advantage of it, KPO.

[@martinschulz9381]

Thanks for sharing. I'm an old school conventional bobber guy... but the next time I'm in the store I will check these out. I'll know what I'm looking at now.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Cool! Should help to catch more fish under some conditions, KPO.

[@doublereefed]

SUPER helpful! Thank you for posting this.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Happy to do it, thanks for the comment.

[@doublereefed]

@@KnettersPracticalOutdoors , tried this for the first time the past weekend. The rubber bobber made it impossible to cast. The think 4-hole stopper was good maybe 50% of the time. Had do you overcome that? With the stopper on the reel the line can't run out. Also, what is that actual technique? Cast it out... then pull in in a foot and let it sink, repeat, etc? The bobber gets closer to the boat each time. Had one pole with the rubber bobber, just jigged that right off the back of the boat, no cast. We got many hits, the fish ate up all the worms... our jig hook size was WAY too big.

[@Floridamarty]

Great demo. Thank you, from Florida!

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

thanks

[@danielpompell1282]

Nice video bud, thanks for honest and very helpful information.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Daniel, no problem. Also check out my vid "Slip bobbers - tricks for setting the depth". I think you will find some good info in that one too. Thanks KPO

[@72pinebarron]

Fantastic video. Thanks for these!!!

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Matt, thanks for watching. I have a few other slip bobber vids. Check um out at my channel. There is a slip bobber playlist. Thanks again, KPO.

[@eswords1]

Excellent video sir. Much better than all the rest. Well thought out, explained and great close up work. The only thing I amy suggest is to take each the different type slip stops and demonstrate moving them on the line. Thank you.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Yes, that's a good idea. Maybe in a future video, KPO.

[@keithbrov5122]

Great video I learned a lot about rigging up a slip bobbers. Thx

Thanks for that comment. I do have a slip bobber playlist if you're interested LINK -kzbin.info/aero/PLksX0m4wrQHzY42vxvoV7scmG2dwPU84g You might like some of those too, KPO.

[@burquebassin1293]

Awesome detailed video!!! Thank you for this.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Mike-ff7ib]

This was easier to understand than Bill Dances video. I never used a slip bobber, I only used texas style plastic worm with bullet weight. You did a great job explaining and demonstrating everything. I will have to try this next time im out.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Mike, thanks for that comment. I did a follow up video too if you have any more questions, kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZCzhaeFZ9ygf8U Thanks KPO.

[@thomasmohr5414]

Nice video and tutorial. Thanks for putting this together!

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

My pleasure!

[@mikey6071]

I used to use the colored yarn slip bobber, and they would easily slide after a while, and just dissappear. I watched a fellow youtuber and learned how to tie a slip bobber, so now it's easier and much cheaper. I do however have to invest in some more DollarTree glasses :) Liked your presentation and honesty, and Liked your video, and want to see more videos from you, so I subscribed. Thank you sir!

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Thank you Mike, KPO.

[@borfishing7690]

Very informative video. Thanks for posting

[@WOODMISER2023]

Thank you for this and your honesty with the bobber stops. I use and have used the four hole stopper for a couple of years and found it to work great then I set it up a new Okuma rod with the four hole bobber stop and found out the stop has a hard time passing thru the end guide. No most of the time it will not go threw the end guide with ease as it is just to small. I came here looking for a solution and it looks like the solution will be to change the end guide on the rod as I do like the stop. Thank you for you help.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Yes, the string type might work better going through that small guide but I just don't like the string ones as much.

[@alanpowers912]

Thanks for a good basic video. I thought you would close it out with a rubber band knot. I've used that for decades. It passes through the spool and the guides with no problem. Now recently learned to tie a bobber stop knot with doubled braid, not the super which is too thin. Dacron would be better. The braid works well but if it's too tight it passes through the bead but not though the bobber. Learning to tie that knot with doubled slippery braid will test one's vocabulary.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Alan, I used to use a rubber band when icefishing when I was a kid. Started buy the stops as a teenager and they just seemed to work. Thanks for the comment. KPO
