For an easy-to-use rig that is also very effective, look no further than the slip bobber rig. Also known as the slip float rig, the slip bobber rig design allows for easy depth adjustment thanks to the ability to quickly change the location of the bobber stop. It’s also a very sensitive rig that lets you feel the fish bite right away so you can hook them before they get away. You can use the slip bobber rig for both saltwater and freshwater fishing. It works especially well when targeting catfish, panfish, mackerel, snook, tarpon, trout, and redfish.
What makes this rig so great is that it:
- Is easy to use
- Allows you to cast out far
- Has great sensitivity to fish bites
- Works in both shallow and deep water
- Can easily be adjusted to different depths
- Takes less than two minutes to make
Materials needed to make a slip bobber rig:
- Plastic beads
- A good slip float
- Swivels
- Hook and leader
- Bobber stops
- Egg sinker (1/8 ounce)
