Fishing is just like family values. The way you do it when you were young is close to how you do it when you're an adult. I've fished all my life and I see so many techniques that I've NEVER heard of until I got on youtube.
I'm not worried about scaring crappie...they aren't terribly skittish usually. I like about 6" seperation between hook and split shot. It keeps the hangups down a bit and lets the minnow swim free. I find that with the active minnows swimming it triggers bites quicker. Just my personal preference.
@@gregwz2n735 I do about 6 to 8" myself when it comes to separating the hook and the weight. Also again wonderful video and I'm looking forward to the next one friend 👍💯🎣
Move the split shot farther away from the hook when your fishing dirtier water to allow the minnow to swim in a circular pattern, which in turn draws crappie in from farther distances.....
You could have enjoyed all this time fishing for yourself, instead you chose to video and explain your technique to us all. Thank you for taking the time to teach us your skills.
I agree the yarn ones seem to slide a lot. I'm going to try the rubber stops. Also the idea you gave about dipping your rod to help stop it from grabbing an eyelet it works great.
Thank you for the informative video. How far up the line from the slipshot do you place the Bob stopper? Also, how do you know when you have to adjust the stopper? Lastly, what part of the bober should be visible above the water line. Thanks in advance
If you like to use string for a bobber stop and you don't want the stop to move, tie a constrictor knot. It won't loosen and you might have to cut if off if you want to move it. If a split shot is too much of a hassle when casting, just buy a slip bobber that has a built-in weight.
well maybe it's because i am in canada ehhhh but waited for those multi function fixed/slip floats to hit walmart and stores but even bass pro shop does not have em, ill have to look more carefully again at walmart but anyways i decided to make one myself using a regular thill spring loaded fixed bobber and now i can use it as a snap on to my line slip bobber too hahahahha , ill be making a vid soon about this hack and many other techniques i came up with , but no those rubber stops are not for me specially since my light rod seems to have not only the second but the third guide all the same size diameter as the tip guide (weird?) ,yeah the yarn gives a bit of trouble after a while too but not nearly as bad and still the least resistant to getting stuck on the guides as anything else ive seen but your slack line tip is spot on in helping with that at least for those who only have one small guide to go through
I typically use 6 or 8lb test with a slip bobber rig. Depending on what part of the country your are in you can get different sized crappie minnows. When I travel to most Southern states a medium sized (2-2.5") minnow works best. Upnorth you're left with whatever you can scoop out of the livewell at the baitshop.
With the line thru the "fixed" position notch the Rod N Bobbs bobber move up and down my 4lb fluoro pretty easy (its got a little grip). Is that going to be okay? Most bobbers really clamp down.
lol i have the same old split shots by that company , but now they say im not allowed to use lead shots even though what they selling still look like led ,probably the same stuff they make led free soldering wire from
Have you tried fishing that bobber by putting the line through the notch so it slides? I'm curious how that works. I've only slip bobbered the traditional way with the line going through the grommet in the bobber.
I personally don't use braid for slip bobber rigs, but I have seen other anglers use it. The key is to make sure the bobber has a large enough grommet for the line to easily slide through. With mono or fluorocarbon you dont have to worry as much with the line sticking.
Well, since I move the spit weight to the top of the hook, I can reel down almost to the hook before casting. The bobber will slide to the weight. The more line you have out before casting, the greater chance it gets tangled.
Everybody talks about how soft crappie bite but why doesnt anybody get a better angle/view to the bobber since so we can get a better understand of what that looks like because this view a i see is it bouncing from the wake unless its a agressive bite and pulls the bobber under would be nice to see a closer view of the bobber
rubber stoppers make no design sense to me ,they will end up going through you rod rings while retrieving and casting too,i only use plastic beads so only the knot stop goes through the rings and not the bead ,many fishing tackles are poorly designed, i wish i can do my own and have a company make the stuff, like for example the floats that light at night, notice how they are not made to have much boyancee and they only setup with a hole and rubber grommet for the line? why not make them spring loaded fixed or slip as well as slip through the centre just like yours is nicely made that way with all 3 options? all that is missing for this to become the ultimate float is a light in it , you think i can find this float at my local wallmart even though im in canada?
I think you will be able to but them at Walmart in Canada otherwise you can order online at rodnbobbs.com . They do sell lights you can attach to the top of the bobber stem to fish at night.
@@FloppingCrappie yep i checked out the site and they got all kinds, idk what they mean by 1" , 1/2", 7/8" ,3/4" etc are these the diameters at the widest section ? prices aint bad but once you add shipping forget about it lol, ill just have too look around here for it or through tackle shops,we also got bass pro shop too
DEFINITELY GOING TO LOOK IN TO GETTING SOME OF THOSE BOBBERS..A LITTLE PRICEY ...BUT THIS IS A TRUE MOM&POPS SHOP!!!! #FAMILY OWNED ...DO YOU HAVE A DISCOUNT CODE ?????...LOL..I'M A "TACKLE JUNKY'..#HOARDER............THUMBS UP
Why you hurt the fish for content whenever you fish take it don’t just hurt them for your views and content that’s what I don’t like the catch and release your just hurting the fish or might die due to injuries
Are you really complaining about him not keeping those small fish because you think it hurts them? There’s likely a size limit and they are not going to die from being caught and released
Best tutorial I’ve seen on the slip float
All these years I thought a split shot weight being that close to a hook would scare a crappie . Thanks for showing me different. 💯👍
You're welcome, thanks for watching

Glad I could help
I've seen those bobbers on the shelves and ignored them. I'm going to have to get some now.
great advise on the split shot setup for negative bites
Greetings friend, good video and thanks for teaching us your crappies fishing techniques
Thank you for the informative video. How far up the line from the slipshot do you place the Bob stopper? Also, how do you know when you have to adjust the stopper? Lastly, what part of the bober should be visible above the water line. Thanks in advance
Those crappie have beautiful markings
Sure do, thanks for watching
Thanks for the show
you know ever since i went slip bobber i never went back, when you can adjust to any depth what is the point to using fixed?
If you like to use string for a bobber stop and you don't want the stop to move, tie a constrictor knot. It won't loosen and you might have to cut if off if you want to move it. If a split shot is too much of a hassle when casting, just buy a slip bobber that has a built-in weight.
Thanks for sharing this. Now I know how to do this
Thanks for the tips on the bobber.
You're welcome
Very informative thanks
Very nice video and very well explained. I like your channel! Keep the good work, stay safe and healthy, God Bless.
Great Video ! May I ask how far from the hook did you put that bobber stoper ? Thanks
Hello I really enjoy your very descriptive videos .. Can you use a rubber bobber stopper on a closed faced Zebco Micro 33 reel ? Thank You
You could try, but I think the bobber stop would get caught in the spool when trying to cast
are those rubber bobber stoppers any good? i would think they would definitely drag up against the line guides

I really enjoyed the video, what's the best Minnow size to catch large Crappies? What's your pound test?
I typically use 6 or 8lb test with a slip bobber rig. Depending on what part of the country your are in you can get different sized crappie minnows. When I travel to most Southern states a medium sized (2-2.5") minnow works best. Upnorth you're left with whatever you can scoop out of the livewell at the baitshop.
keep up the good work
Thanks!
Great data great video wish I could go fishing with you for crappie like those
What size float from rod and bobs do you recommend
With the line thru the "fixed" position notch the Rod N Bobbs bobber move up and down my 4lb fluoro pretty easy (its got a little grip). Is that going to be okay? Most bobbers really clamp down.
i would wrap the line around the stem in order to help lock it in the notch
Thanks for sharing!!
What’s the size hook do you recommend? I’ve heard size 8 is good. Is it true? You said size one is good, is it too big though? Thank you.
The most common Aberdeen hook sizes for crappie are size 1, 2, and 4.
Thank you!
Skip to 8 min for the information you need smh
lol i have the same old split shots by that company , but now they say im not allowed to use lead shots even though what they selling still look like led ,probably the same stuff they make led free soldering wire from
I'm getting some of them. Great video Davis.
Thanks Pete!
Have you tried fishing that bobber by putting the line through the notch so it slides? I'm curious how that works. I've only slip bobbered the traditional way with the line going through the grommet in the bobber.
Here is a video on using the notch on the bobber. ruclips.net/video/aTPVB8ezLDM/видео.html
So, does the bobber stop replace both the yarn stopper and bead?
Yes, typically you won't need a bead if your using a rubber bobber stop.
@@FloppingCrappie Thanks
Nice, nice video, I am having trouble finding those rubber bobber stops? Link? Or place?
Here is a link to them amzn.to/3cdlFQa
Thank you kindly!
What about braid line do they slip on braids
I personally don't use braid for slip bobber rigs, but I have seen other anglers use it. The key is to make sure the bobber has a large enough grommet for the line to easily slide through. With mono or fluorocarbon you dont have to worry as much with the line sticking.
What is the purpose of tugging on the drag just before landing the fish?
This helps when trying to flip the fish in the boat.
Appreciate the vid...
Very interesting, great ideas. What size RodnBob bobber are you using? Thx.
I was using the 1"
@@FloppingCrappie Thanks
Bobber is that ok to braid mainline.?
I prefer to use either monofilament or fluorocarbon when using a slip bobber.
Ok but how do you throw it and prevent the hook from hanging up on the top of the bobber? Frustration in using a slip float lol
Well, since I move the spit weight to the top of the hook, I can reel down almost to the hook before casting. The bobber will slide to the weight. The more line you have out before casting, the greater chance it gets tangled.
tell me if i have a swivel between the hook and the slip float should i be putting the split shot below or above the swivel?
i guess he forgot to answer that
do you use the 1 or 5 gallon minnow bag
1 gallon
Nice bro good info
Thank you!
@@FloppingCrappie NP man u love chasing crappie in nj!!
Great 👍🏿
Where to get that 3 in 1 bobber?
Rodnbobbs.com
Thanks
Bro you got the same rod and reel as me
Everybody talks about how soft crappie bite but why doesnt anybody get a better angle/view to the bobber since so we can get a better understand of what that looks like because this view a i see is it bouncing from the wake unless its a agressive bite and pulls the bobber under would be nice to see a closer view of the bobber
The sping on these bobbers are weak and I have had the bobber come off when using it in fixed mode using the spring.
The fixed positions let the line slide right through
Try a larger line size. I typically use 6lb test and don't have issues with the line sliding
You have to bob on the knob to catch the slabs

@@FloppingCrappie hmm well i guess if the shipping cost is only 5 bucks and i decide to get a few bobbers then it might be worth it
@@ARCSTREAMS the measurement is the diameter of the widest part of the bobber

nobody ever explains this clear..where we can understand.

You were doing great up until you brought up like scope that’s when I turned off the video
Why you hurt the fish for content whenever you fish take it don’t just hurt them for your views and content that’s what I don’t like the catch and release your just hurting the fish or might die due to injuries
Are you really complaining about him not keeping those small fish because you think it hurts them? There’s likely a size limit and they are not going to die from being caught and released
all your numbers mean shit to me.
those bobbers are already in Walmarts
Oh, I didn't know that. Thought they were releasing them in late September.
To much talk. Just show us the the riggings.
Don’t be an ass
