I’ve recently taken up fishing as a hobby with zero prior experience and I find your videos extremely helpful! Thanks a bunch!

Thanks again for you're down to earth, everyday guy style. I watched your video on the 4 types of slip bobbers too. I am learning an awful lot from you in just these few minutes. Keep up the good work.

Nice job! gonna use this in June while fishing with my wife. Easy to understand, perfect stuff. Thanks for taking the time.

Both of your 'Thill' slip bobber videos are excellent. Thanks for the info.

Fantastic information for novice or experienced. I've been bass fishing for many years but have never understood the mechanics behind the slip bobber but now, thanks to you, I do. This has increased my interest in pan fishing and I look forward to getting started. Thank you...

MAXIMUM helpful! Thank you for posting this.

Love your channel, very hands-on practical information, earned with years of hard-earned experience. Informed my friends and kids on your channel. Awesome Job and Thank You...

You are very good at what you do as an instructor. I enjoy watching your channel; you make it as though I was listening to a friend. Thank You

That was really trick. Wish I learned that 50 years ago. Great video.

thanks so much. came home rig for morning fishing coho. can't wait to see if I catch them. nice video.

Another great video. I was just talking to a guy at our local large dock today and we were discussing how deadly the slip bobber really is. It is super effective. Not a lot of people where I am from (a small town in Northern Ontario, Canada) are familiar with the slip. This guy was though and I overheard him talking, about how he never sees people using the slip bobber, just the clip on. So, of course, being a huge fan of the slip bobber, I piped up and said "I use them and I love them". The thing I love most about them, is it's the most relaxing and lazy way to fish if I don't want to cast and crank, or jig or do anything. Lol. If there is a little bit of chop on the top of the water, the waves do all the work for you really. They seem to give it that perfect motion, that is irresistible to fish. It's like unattended jigging, lol. The biggest Walleye I caught this summer, was on a slip bobber and a worm. It's highly effective for multiple species. It works on everything from Pike to Bass, to Perch, Walleye, Salmon etc. There is really nothing it can't do and in craggy areas where you are likely to get hung up often on rocks etc. it really shines. Some people say, bobbers are for kids. LMAO! I'll show them just what a "the right bobber" can do. I can catch when nobody else is with their jigs, rigs and cranks etc. Although, those all have their place too. I've had so many people ask me "what kind of bobber is that and why are you catching fish and I'm not?". My answer is always the same "It's cause I can get right down in the fish's face with the slip bobber and that makes all the difference. With a clip on, you are limited to how tall you are, which is fine in 3-7 feet of water max, but no much more and with the slip bobber I have no limits on depth. Ten, twenty, forty or sixty feet of water and beyond." Then I show them how it works and they are fascinated. I love explaining how it works, actually and I do it a lot, cause people here are not that familiar with it. I don't mind repeating that at all, cause I want to see them catch fish too.

Great advice. Exactly the information I was looking for.

I watch lots of your videos and I like them all, thanks

Another very well done informative video.Thanks for sharing

Absolutely great tutorial. Thanks

Good information. Thanks for sharing the how and the why.

Thanks man your tutorial are really well done and easy to understand ! Good job!! 👍

Very good practical, informative information. Mostly common sense, but I know quite a few who would "engineer" it to death. Just follow your instructions and very simple. I like your delivery. Keep up the good videos.

Thank you for the great idea. I just made my homemade floater made of table tennis ball and straw from lollipop.

Great video!

Great advice thank you!!

Great lesson! Thank you

good tips Mr I like the arms as a measuring device

Really appreciate your videos they are helping me a lot thanks 🙏👉🏻🎣👉🏻🎣🎣🤜🏻🎣🎣

Great video

love your man cave dude!!!

Great info

Very helpful ty

Such simple techniques

I can't thank you enough for the detailed explanation and demonstration in your video regarding slip bobber. What method would you recommend to determine the depth for the bobber stop when fishing from shore at a lake where you've never fished before?

thank you so much

thanks , very informative and I had no idea about clip weight ! , lol

So the bobber stop goes into your reel as you reel in the line? That doesnt mess up the line at all during a cast? Ive never used a slip bobber only the clip on ones but im going to try the slips now. So obviously the stopper has to be a flat one correct? Round is no good?? Im confused

Great video! Does adding split shot weights affect the jig head movement?

I was wondering about your thrill pro series slip float, what sizes are you using and how do you balance the bobber and the weights (at spillways)?

Once you see your bobber get pulled to foot under water, do you then adjust a stopper down a foot?

i tightline in the wind over the side..rell up off the bottom. bobbers just blow around.

Where do you get your four-way whole bottle stopper from

Great video! Humans “wingspan” tends to be their exact height. You look taller than 5 feet! ha!

What kind of weights do you use when using a slip bobber. I want to try it but need to buy my supplies.

If I set my depth to let’s say 10 feet but then I switch spots and fish in 4 feet do I have to switch it to 4 feet or will it just float perfectly without it hitting the bobber stopper

Do the stops move easy enough up and down the line to facilitate adjustment, but grip tight enough to prevent unwanted adjustment? How often do you have to tighten them up to stay put?

im confused why you can not use the sinker again to adjust for that 16 ft hump? just go over the hump and make your adjustment then go where you want to cast from ,also why not stay above the hump and vertical jig or cast from there?

is there a way to automatically set the bait a few feet above the bottom without using that special clip on weight? is there an alternative?

do you know how to tie a bobbers that has a small hole ring to it, it's not a slip bobbers like this but this bobbers I guess you just put the lines into that small hole ring but I don't know to set up the rig for that bobbers lol

How can i know the perfect size for line im using if let's say im using 50mm line ?? Thanks alot 🙏

What if I'm fishing from the bank I set my bobber 10 and didn't get hung how can I judge my depth from the bank

I go with the wingspan all the time. That's all you really need to do. If you don't know the depth, set it too deep and then back it off. How convenient that your wingspan is 5 feet and need 15 feet lol.

And don't forget to wet your line of you wanna adjust more than 3 or 4 times :)

Us catfish guys use a foam strike detector with our weighted floats the detector is on the side of the float your on bottom and flush on top of float means it's not it's a slick little trick many people don't know

Can I slip bobber fish 40 to 60 ft

so what is the point of using weighted bobbers if they wont help you find the right depth setting? i do not see a practical use for them unless you are sure what depth you are setting from the start

If you are shore fishing how do you test the depth...so you know where to set your stop?

what if you don't own a boat?

The method you explain at 6.12 to 7.01 really i don't understand can you explain much ?

slip bobbets dont work good in the wind.

Could have been a 3 minute video
