How To Use A Slip Bobber For Fishing Crappie

2016/7/16 16:39:22

Many fishermen love to fish for Crappie fish but are unsure of how to use a slip bobber. A slip bobber is a special device used for fishing Crappie Fish. The special thing about this type of bobber is that it slides freely up and down the fishing line.

A bobber will not work properly if there is not a method to hold it at a certain spot on the line. There are several different types of bobbers, but most people separate them into the old and new. If you decide to use the old fashion clip on type then you can clip the bobber above the hook at the depth that you would like to have your bait at. The problem with this is that it does not allow you to cast any deeper then about three feet. This is why the slip bobber is far better than the clip on type.

Slip bobbers allow the fishermen to cast out their line as far as they want. The other great thing about slip bobber is that they allow you to fish as deep or as shallow as you want.

Many fishermen have found that they have even fished as deep as thirty or forty feet. Slip bobbers give the fishermen significantly more freedom than the clip on bobbers do. Many novice fishermen do not like to use slip bobbers because they are significantly harder to attach to a line if you have not done it before.

The fact of the matter is that it is pretty simple to attach a slip bobber to a line. The extra effort will pay off in the long run because they will help you catch more fish.

Slip bobbers have small holes that go through them. This hole allows for the bobber to move freely throughout the line. It is important for fishermen to tie a small knot at the end of the line. This knot prevents the bobber from falling off the end of the line.

Many experienced fishermen choose to make knots on their own to save money. In most cases, the knot that is used to tie the knot is usually made of string.

If you are an inexperienced fishermen you may want to consider buying knots that are pre rigged. You can buy these knots at any local bait shop for a few dollars. Some people like to use floss to make a knot, but that is only if you are on a tight budget.

After you tie the knot onto the line you will need to slide a small bead with a hole in it onto the line. It is of the up most importance to make the knot big so that the bead cannot slide past it. At the same time, it must also be small enough so that it can pass through the different rod guides that exist.

At this point the bobber should be slid onto the line and the hook she be tied to the end of the line. Some people like to place a split shot on the line between the hook as well as the bobber. Doing so will ensure that the bobber stays off the hook while casting. If you try both types of bobbers you will find that the slip bobber will help you more often than not.
