Slip bobbers are ideal because they allow you to adjust the depth to match where the fish are feeding.
In moving water, such as a river or stream, a slip bobber can be adjusted to keep your bait in the strike zone, even as the water flows.
How to Set Up a Slip Bobber Rig:
Thread a slip bobber onto your fishing line.
Tie a stopper knot above the bobber to set your desired depth.
Attach a weight or split-shot sinker below the bobber.
Tie on your hook and bait (such as a worm or jig).
Cast your line—the bobber will slide down, allowing the bait to sink to the set depth.
If a fish bites, the bobber will move or dip below the water, signaling a strike.
