bobber with live bait or artificial bait
Bobber and artificial bait or live bait
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a little trick I've been using for about twenty somewhat years setting up a rig to catch bluegill and or sacs on ultra or spincast rigs.
1. Get a 2 liter coke bottle clear plastic and fill it to the top with water.
2. Buy those little 1 and 1/2 red and white floating corks at any tackle store.
3. If you are using tubejigs 1/16 to 1/32 oz leadhead, cut about half of the red colored part of the bobber off crossways. This will lower the hight of the bobber closer to the surface of the water.
4. Tie a small snap swivel on a piece of monfiliment. Then a jighead with plastic ( weight of head makes a difference ). This is what you are looking to set.
5. Put the bobber on the mono from the top about 6" from bait and let it hang inside of the 2 liter coke bottle. There you can set your bobber like you want with the weight of the jig. May have to cut on the bobber with 1/32 oz or less with a 1/16 oz. I put a full 1 and 1/2" bobber to set a 1/8 oz. to start. You get the picture.
6. Once you have the bouency you want for each weight jig, you will see the difference in the action of the bobber. The key to this is having the top of the bobber as close to the surface as possible. HERE IS THE TRICK. tHE POPPING OF THE BOBBER WITH THE LEAST MOVEMENT OF THE LINE. EXSPECIALILLY FOR SACS.
7. Hope this little trick helps.
8. Next time I will show the trick on setting a tube jig so it is almost perfectally horizonally in the water. Of course with the 2 liter bottle .
