Excellent! Clear and through coverage of slip bobbers and stops. Here I am at 73 and just learning this.

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..

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

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

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!

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.

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.

By far the most informative and best overall presentation on slip bobbers I've found on the net. Thank you, sir!. I'm off to Louisiana this winter and them crappies are gonna take a beatin now!.

One of the best explanations of slip bobber set-up. Nicely done!

I've watched 10 different videos, and yours is absolutely the most educational. 5 stars for you,

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.

Great walk through for all ages. In particular I used this to help demonstrate/explain the various bobber styles with my children. Thank you for putting it all together. Go Pack Go !

Best video on this topic I have seen so far!

[wondermonkeyoutdoors]

I appreciate your video! I was totally unaware of what these were for other than to keep the bullet sinker from moving on certain jigs. I am now smarter, thanks to you.

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.!

Thank you for making this easy to understand for a fairly novice fisher. Used to fish with my dad as a kid and I'm only now starting to get back into it.

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.

Been a nomad fishing Perch in any ocean with a pleasant beach! I recently went fishing in a small reservoir behind some dams in Northern California. Where I learned to fish. I couldn’t catch anything because of competition. I was the only person with a traditional bobber. Took me all day to realize that slip bobbers exist. I just thought that it was an aerodynamics problem because I just could not get it out there far enough. Well thank you!! These bobbers change everything!!!

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.
