How to Set Up the Slip-bobber rig
The diagram shows how the pieces sit on the line. Follow the steps in order.
- Tie on a bobber stop knot to the line at the depth you want.
- Slide a small bead on the line.
- Slide on the slip bobber.
- Tie a size 6 or 8 hook or small jig to the end.
- Add a split shot 6-12 inches above the hook.
- Cast and let the bobber stand upright. Adjust the stop to change depth.
Tip: Slip rigs let you fish 15 ft or deeper while still casting easily. Slide the stop to find the fish.
