    Default slip float?


    Whats your favorite slip float. I have been using the thill slip floats they have at wally world. There are 2 in a pack and they are supposed to glow in the dark i think. They are small and hard for me to see on a long cast. A buddy of mine used to use those wing it bobbers. Cant findem here in town. Anybody use them. Seems like they were bigger in size but alot of the float was routed out so it doesnt have as much mass, and is as easy to pull under as a smaller float. Only going to use it as a slip bobber i dont like those springs. What are others that are good? Thanks

    I like the new Thill Crappie slip floats...florescent pink color and they are sized and marked by jig weight....makes it easy to get your rig set right that way....example use a 1/16 float with a 1/16 jig and it will float just right.

    I have used the wing-it floats. They work, however they aren't cheap.

    I bought 6 floats last night for taday's excursion. Cost like $.45 or $.55 each. I usually get Thills. They work great. Picked up 3 dozen wax worms for $2.50 too, actually 6 dozen wax worms for $5.00. 2- 3 dozen containers.
