How to Set Up a Slip Bobber Rig for Walleye Fishing

[@christianschotz6801]

Best explanation and visual tutorial I have seen so far for setting up a slip bobber. Thank you!

[@TTangOutdoors]

I love the good ol slip bobber. I don’t use often but like it. Sometimes like to chill and throw a greasy NC on it. Great video

[@TTangOutdoors]

Thanks Cody!! It should work really good on your trout ponds. I used to catch a ton on slip bobber and leech.

[@NorwegianTroutFishing]

thanks for the video, i will defently try this. :)

[@TTangOutdoors]

Not a problem glad to help! Hopefully you have success.

[@TimFelch]

Thanks I'm thankful for your insight!! I've always fished for panfish with a bobber. I'll be trying this on the lake for our state fish!!! Tim

[@TTangOutdoors]

Glad to help you Tim! Good luck catching them

Awesome job explaining the process. In fly fishing we do use a similar technique to suspend a nymph above the bottom in flowing rivers. Except it’s called a “strike indicator”. However there are differences.

[@TTangOutdoors]

Thanks Ken! Yea an indicator would be a fixed bobber for not too deep water haha. I wish we have more flowing streams close to properly use strike indicators.

[@kenrybchuk4309]

Completely agree. The closest good stream I have fished is either Battle or Bone creek. With the temperatures we’ve had though, I have no idea how well they would fish now. I have my next Sky Tale Productions video coming out soon. Went to one of my favourite trout fishing areas in Manitoba. But have never fished there in August and especially in consideration of the temperatures being experienced. We did okay in comparison to everyone else fishing. But still…Either way a weekend out camping and fishing is better than staying in town. BTW - I hope my Facebook comments didn’t offend you or anyone. I’m not against anyone fishing with bait…but how people dis-reapect nature and the catch they are after. I’ve seen and picked up way many empty or 1/2 full rotting plastic live bait containers, discarded tangled Walleye rigs, and dead or dying fish from released fish from such rigs. Not all bait fishers act this way of course, but the few. I also think that everyone can learn from different styles and methods of angling.

[@TTangOutdoors]

I went trout fishing recently on stocked ponds but man..... I was cooked!! I'm not gonna go trout fishing until the weather goes back to 20 degrees.... And no your FB comments are awesome I just forgot to reply haha. Maybe I should make videos with more advise/reminders as far as fish handling and environment goes. Thanks for commenting Ken!

[@kenrybchuk4309]

@@TTangOutdoors - wouldn’t hurt. I like your videos…lots actually., wish I could, but can’t, put together an instructional or vlog type of video period.. Keep your videos coming. Please view my next video when it comes out and any feedback would be much appreciated. I completely agree about trout fishing and in general right now. The hot weather has definitely messed things up. I wouldn’t keep anything from any body of water till all the lakes turn over and the temperatures drop for a bit.

[@TTangOutdoors]

@@kenrybchuk4309 I will definitely check out your next video and leave comments Ken!! I just watch other bigger fishing KZbin channels to get tips on vlogging and flows and stuff, and incorporate that into my own content. I have set a goal to land a nice rainbow this year, hopefully this fall season!

[@CandidZulu]

Awesome, big thanks!

[@TTangOutdoors]

Glad to help!

[@shaelynnebear]

[@TTangOutdoors]

Haha thank you! I was there earlier this month and definitely had a blast haha. Will edit the videos of that trip soon. I do wanna go there one more time to catch more species!

[@shaelynnebear]

@@TTangOutdoors it was awsome to meet u at the dam in round lake man sorry 4 calling u lu i was really excited lol but whens ur plans to post ur next video ?

[@TTangOutdoors]

@@shaelynnebear yo what up Drew! Hey I got 3 videos filmed just haven't finished editing. Hopefully next week! It was nice meeting you man! We actually caught rock bass that day!

[@shaelynnebear]

@@TTangOutdoors right on tom cant wait to watch em i can say the same bro really ? u move spots or by dam

[@TTangOutdoors]

@@shaelynnebear I moved back to the West End and caught them by the Rocky shore line

[@freddiegonz4113]

You didn’t show how it goes thru the top guide. I have to trim my bobber stops shorter as longer ones tend to get stuck at the top guide.

[@TTangOutdoors]

I did mention that a bigger tip guide is preferred. I know some good lure fishing rods don't have large guides and those are not meant for slip bobber. It all depends on the line thickness and guide ring diameter ratio.

[@alessandrayang6376]

What is the size line did you use for anyway?

[@TTangOutdoors]

I use 10lb power pro braid about 0.15mm line diameter

[@wesshaw6869]

No need to split line types just use regular mono or whatever your base line is on ur reel . No need for a second line type . Why these guys recommend a second line is beyond me soo stupid smh . Iv had tons of success with just slip bobber fishing using whatever line is on my reel without a second line as a leader. Theres no neeed for this !!

[@TTangOutdoors]

Pike bites off and then you lose your slip bobber, that's why I use a swivel connection. I like braid main line personally

[@larsvegas1505]

@@TTangOutdoors Mono sinks, braid floats.. i use braid mainline mostly.. if u wat to set the hook and ur line has sunk it can be challenging. also using braid leader is not nice.. so use fluoro.. or mono.. or steel leaders for pike.. (i use .80mm fluoro for pike/zander in europe)... but u can use smaller diameter if ur not catching a lot of pike. Also i dont like color coated hooks.. they dont go in as good.. also the color difference is arguable. I use gamakatsu mostly..
