With this set up, I use 8 lbs. braid tied to a swivel with a 6lbs. leader. That way if you get snagged, you can pull it off and only lose your jig, instead of losing your bobber and bead.

[@ARCSTREAMS]

and the swivel stops the slip float from getting stuck to the jig at least i think it never gave me problems but if it does juts add a bead ontop of the swivel

[@evelynlckes9434]

You are a genius I've been doing that for over 40 years and that not will not come loose if you wet it before you when you pull it tight

[@fashopimpin]

My god that’s the easiest way to tie a loop knot thanks!!!!!

[@mikeyfightfan]

Excellent teaching for us newbies. Thank you.

[@patrickgiroux7596]

I have fond memories of Watts Bar Lake. I will go back. Soon.

[@FloppingCrappie]

It's a great fishery

[@fishmohr]

Great video. I bobber fish a lot for walleye and crappie. One trick I was taught with a slide your bobber on the line followed by a bead. Then tie the line to a swivel. If you are fishing deeper, say 12 feet over 20 feet, add a slip sinker above the bead. Tie main line to swivel. If you are using 8lb mono, tie a 6lb leader (say 12-14 inches) and then your jib or hook. This keeps everything from getting caught up. If you get hung up on a branch, rock or other, you can break of the jig/live bait hook (6lb leader), without losing your bobber. I like your video with subscribe! Fishmohr

[@jessimoore5831]

Awsome job ! Thanks for sharing didn't know you could use that presentation year round like that ! I usually just catch crappie in the spring cause I could not find them in the summer so I just catfished or went for bluegills .I can't wait to give this a try ! To open my options up for better success crappie fishing !

[@j.j.clingman4083]

Awesome video buddy and a very good tip also!! My problem is just finding where the crappies are on a lake and then trying to get them to bite because they are so pressured fish!!! If I can get past those two things I will definitely be much happier!!!

[@timmoore9736]

Fun watching - your 9 inch fish would be large where I fish for crappie in Oregon - but they they are a hoot!

[@michaelhenry550]

I'm working the jig set up now. Hoping it will help. Very slow hitting in mid Georgia.

[@sammyvh11]

Need more C and R for Crappie

[@charlesronk2989]

I just bought that same reel. Love it. I did that same tip as I was having the same problem but it was where I had tied a leader of floro onto my braid. The bobber kept hanging. So I used the same trick.

[@FloppingCrappie]

Awesome! I'm really liking the viper x reel!

[@sunleonardo5946]

Very cool set up. On the bank, I use a blastoff bobber from RnB to deliver a light jig to distance. Cannot detect negative bits tho.

[@lifeoutdoors2day357]

I tie the loop much smaller then that, so there is still some spring in the line. Better action fewer issues. Give it a try sometime

[@mitchhelms6772]

great tip but if you do the same tie method except hook the loop over the eye you can make the loop a little bit smaller but if that works best for you great i just don't like the big loop as much

[@TrueNorthOutdoorAdventures]

[@CzarWilkins]

Wow never saw that kind of fishing, using a jig with a float. Interesting!

[@mjcavender1230]

I’m just now learning to “really” fish. One thing that wasn’t clear to me or either I didn’t comprehend. So I am clear…The first knot you tied is roughly 15ft or so up your line from your jig, which stops the bobber and helps maintain depth of the jig at roughly 15ft down? The bobber will slide up the line and stop at this point and then slide down towards the jig as you reel it in. I will need to learn to tie a knot for the bobber stop as I have not a clue what that cannister tube knot you used is. I looked below in your description but wasn’t sure. Great video! Thank you for taking the time to put it together.

[@FloppingCrappie]

You are correct. The top knot sets the depth, which the bobber will stop at. This is a video where I explain how to tie that knot. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXWspHapftFjjrs

[@mjcavender1230]

@@FloppingCrappie greatly appreciate the reply and how to tie the knot. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@adventureswithfrodo2721]

Tried the Rod n Bob and they are good but they seem more fragile then the Trill bobbers.

[@jldfishing6622]

Yeah I like using the rubber bobber stops I keep it from hitting the knot

[@warcraft8226]

thanks

[@illinoishotspotsguideservi4262]

There is a new 1 of a kind rod coming out soon designed just for the slip bobber guys. Doesn't matter what style of bobber stop you use it will not hang up in the eyelets. Hotspots MEGAEYE crappie rods. Keep your ears open for availability.

[@slabslayer258]

Mine slip occasionally nothing is perfect when reeling in fish mainly just usually flip my rod as bobber stop comes close and let it slack just a second to travel intro guides and it works great majority of time I’ve been slip cork fishing for my entire life still meet people that don’t know what it is

[@gregstabryla9945]

Gonna try that loop knot. No bead on top of the bobber? Another bobber stop I've been using is a piece of skirt from a frog, chatterbait, etc. The yarn slips too much for me, but never thought about leaving tag ends on it. Those micro guides can get picky.

[@FloppingCrappie]

I'll have to try the skirt from a frog next time I'm fishing. And yes, you can put a bead above the bobber and below the stop if the bobber is getting stuck in the slip stop.

[@jackieakersjr2691]

What storage you get your slip bobber strong

[@thebowtiefisherman5718]

Another great video. Hey I'm in need of a good fish finder, I currently have the Lowrance hook2 4x gps. It's absolutely not working for me. Can you please recommend a unit that shows brush piles and structure that won't break the bank? Thank you

[@FloppingCrappie]

I would recommend the humminbird helix 5 si GPS amzn.to/2Whjua5

[@chambourtram]

Great tip. Question, are you basing the depth to set the stop off purely the depth of water or are you looking for a certain depth off the top of the brush pile?

[@FloppingCrappie]

I was using where the majority of fish were suspended above the brush pile. Most of fish were 10-15ft down in 20ft of water. The brush piles are roughly 4-5ft tall .

[@ARCSTREAMS]

i make my own bob n rod or dual function fixed/slip bobber from any float i buy on the market, have a vid on my ch for the diy on this and other neat hacks

[@leefisher5155]

I am a great crappie fisherman and do want to get in crappie tournaments I have a old ugly boat but I catch a lot of crappie how do I get in those crappy tournaments I know I'll be a underdog but that's okay

[@scottgarrett6339]

What model of trolling motor are you running? I have to get one with spot lock but not sure what to go with. Thanks for info in advance

I have the Garmin Force trolling motor ($3000). The least expensive option for trolling motor with spotlock is the minnkota terrova ($1300)

[@SQLKC]

My issue is using the yarn ties it I can't cast using it cause it stops the line and gets hung on the spool

[@adventureswithfrodo2721]

The only issue an you omit this is you need to use seed beads. If not the bead will slip over the knot.

Try making your loop in your knot as tiny as possible. Like a 1/8 in gap

[@Abears_]

I just started fishing again about a week ago and before that I was a teenager last time I wash fishing so this might be a dumb question but how come no one uses swivels anymore?

A swivel work also instead of a bead.

I'm new this forward facing sonars and I'm trying to do my research because I'm getting ready to take the plunge and from what I have gathered the current system is going to run me around 2,500.00. Please correct me if I'm wrong but from what I understand I need a 1. graph 2 transducer 3. black box....does that pretty much cover it...those 3 items? and can anyone tell me what is the best one to get? largest screen I can get with that 2,500.00 budget and also If I decide to get 2 graphs and put one at the console can I get the same 2 graphs and network them with a ethernet cable. Any advise or help with this would be so much appreciated. Like I said I'm learning about these at the moment and trying to get the best deal for the money. Also...if anyone know of a company running a sale or a coupon/rebate on these would be great too.

[@FloppingCrappie]

You are correct in what you need for this system. There a couple of bundle sales going on that are within you're $2,500 price range. The first is a Garmin 93sv bundle which includes the black box and the LVS32 transducer bit.ly/3knsbsq . Another option is the GPSMAP 1022 with blackbox and LVS32 transducer bit.ly/3MIrV34 . Garmin just came out with the LVS34 transducer as well, which replace the lvs32 and can be bundled with either of these graphs and same black box for $200 more.

A small split shot will do the same but doesn't slip as much

[@FloppingCrappie]

That would work, thanks for watching!

[@BlackCobra331]

Way more annoying than a slip knot

[@bradleyrussell1973]

For starters, a spring float is NOT designed as a slip bobber. It’s meant to be adjustable without a wrap, then when you get the depth where you want it, you wrap it once. 4 out of 10

[@FloppingCrappie]

Clearly you didn't watch the video, this bobber is a 3 in One design. It has two notches. The notch closest to the body of the bobber is for a fixed float setup. The second notch closest to the stem is meant for a slip bobber setup. You can also run the line through the middle of the stem , which is why this bobber is called a 3 in One.

[@Red_White_Blue_First_USA]

It would not slip if you put line glue

[@wadesadberry880]

Bend your hook out a little and stop missing them!

[@alkinceratfafterthefly6284]

Don't use a bobber with a spring. I've never had that problem

[@wg8847]

Why such a long loop knot? Makes no sense to do that.

[@Mr4twitch]

Do you know what a slip float is? Because you're not using slip floats.🤣🤣🤣

[@FloppingCrappie]

This is a 3 in one bobber. There are two notches on the stem of the bobber, one is for a fixed line position, the other allows the line to pass through it. It also has a hole through the middle of the bobber. You can either run the line through the middle of the bobber or use the second notch on the bobbers stem to use it as a slip float.

[@Mr4twitch]

@@FloppingCrappie just use a slip float so your line doesn't get caught up on the spring

[@walterfard1161]

i honestly dont get why people release fish especially crappie and bass they're such good eating fish
