| Anyone have a suggestion for a slip bobber for sucker fishing? I have been using the round styrofoam floats and I break them everytime I set the hook. I noticed a lot of people using long skinny ones that lay on the water. Anyone know where to get one of those? |

Location: MPLS Metro | I go with Salmon Stalker 5oz. The reason I go with the 5oz is because I like to put a 4oz egg weight right above my leader to slow the suckers down when being persued. |

| i wanted to try out a a slip bobber this week instead of my usually styrofoam.
which size Thill Big Fish Slip Bobbers do you guys use? The biggest is 8 inches
also, is there any special way to rig these? certain amount of weight needed?
i've rigged smaller slip bobbers for crappie fishing, are these rigged the same way with bobber stops, beads? |

Location: oswego, il | I used to se the thill slip bobber but noticed when the wind pushed the boat the knot was not always on the bobber. I usually use a 2oz weight on that rig.
Now I use what Will Schultz just mentioned. I have a round and a teardrop shaped float that I run a wire through and attached an offshore planer board clip. The only difference is, I use the one with the pin and take if off sk I don't have to go get it. |

im glad i asked, i was going to use an egg sinker. but makes more sense to use rubber core sinker in case i need to add or remove weight |

| we use the round Styrofoam floats as a slip bobber. use a bobber stop and a big bead and then clip on the Styrofoam float. ( just on the bottom part of the bobber only.) Turn the clip the other way. then it will slide just like a slip bobber |
