Complete Guide To The Ultralight SLIP FLOAT RIG

I have talked about the Ultralight Slip Float Rig a lot in the past. This rig is definitely a must-have for multispecies anglers, especially when you are faced with cold water situations. In today's video, I break down everything you need, how to rig it, and how to fish it. Hope this helps! If you have any questions, feel free to comment below or DM me on social media.

Ethan, you don't have to waste money on those Thill float stop knots. I just take 60# braided line and tie a uni-knot on the main line. You can get thousands of knots out of a spool of braided fishing line, and it won't cost you an arm and a leg.

I know I'm just a stranger in the comments but I have been a fan and watching the channel for a while now and wanted to let you know about how much you played a role in my decision on really digging into ultralight fishing and it's such a blast and VERY MUCH appreciate you and the inspiration you give!!! Tight lines my friend!

Good instructional walk through Ethan. Was able to kill 2 hours Saturday afternoon when it was 60ish in Chicago this weekend. Dark bottom pond was the choice. Wind blowing directly in my face and had to play the wind drift game. Slip floats, ice jigs and wax worms were the ticket. Mix of crappie and bluegill but nothing very big. They didn't seem interested in plastics but I only tried 2 colors in 1/80 ounce. Managed to get about 16 evenly split. Tight lines and Happy fishing. Blessings bud

Just ordered a couple last night and I can't wait to give them a try! The Donkey Tail Jr's. and 1/64 Oz jig heads have been absolutely amazing and I can't wait to try a new presentation!

Great video I love that you walk through and showed the step-by-step on a slip float rig. I’m gonna have to try it. Thank you.

[flrockytop]

Thanks for the video. It was complete down to showing how to tie loop knot. I have trouble tying those.

Good video. I like fishing a slip bobber with wind blowing. I find the waves give the jig movement and action that you'd normally do in calm water. You just need to keep the rod low when casting into a head wind to get your distance.

I am digging these tutorials. New sub. I'm trying the drop shot rig today while bass fishing the Umpqua river in Oregon. keep it up.

Great video with some great info. Have to get some of your float ordered soon but till then hoping to get out this weekend and this some Mule fishing plastics on my BFS for whatever bites. Thanks for all the great ultralight and BFS content. Keep up the great work Ethan.

Great info. I was actually doing alot of research on lightweight floats/bobbers for ultralight rating rods about a month ago!

[Grainraiser]

I use the exact same setup except instead of using split shot I use a 1/32 bullet weight and push the pointed end up into the bottom of the float. 1/32 bullet weights are kinda of hard to find but well worth the effort.

[markschade]

This is a great instructional video! Thankyou!

[johnjasinsky]

I love your videos always entertaining and informative keep up the great work.

Because I fish both conventional and fly, I tend to use a lot of fly fishing knots with my spinning gear. Gunnar Brammer's non-slip loop knot is my go to. The tag end comes out at 90° to the knot, but it's a bit simpler to tie.

[earlwilliams]

Great video I am going to try your rig shortly loveto fish slip flot, but have never used a knot like yuo showed thanks.

[jeffwerth]

Not mentioned - I like to use light braid as my main line. You can make long casts and the lack of stretch makes for better hook sets. I am liking Bass Pro Shops (the same Ott uses in MLF) where sometimes you can't see your float - but can see your line.

[StumpkillerCP]

Keep the tube and make your own whip-knots with Dacron fly-line backing. That's what I do. Your "loop knot" is what I have known as a "Rapala Knot" since I've been fishing. (60 years?)

Slip float and meal worms was slaying the blue gills yesterday in upstate NY.

[calebprice]

Yes!!!! As you know I would like to consider my self the biggest mule fishing fan. Definitely the best products and content in the world. God bless brother and tight lines!!

Also. What braid are you running on the reel

[THEEnfantTerrible]

I need to try a slip float over the tiny blue 1/80th mule jig and horse fly I’ve been using. Gills, golden shiner, GSF, and crappie have already been hitting that thing a lot but if I suspend it under a float longer I bet I’d get even more.
