    slip bobber with minnows work from shore or boat. They allow you to adjust the depth.
    set up bobber stop bead slip float #4 or #2 hook place a small split shot about 10 inches above the hook.

    The Thill slip bobbers are good ones.....the ones for crappie are sized according to jig weight.
    I have spent most my life fishing........the rest I wasted.

    my favorite is to use a very small foam float thats pegged with a tooth pic and fish a 32nd head with a jig under it...

    Depends on what depth you're needing to reach. Deeper than 3' then I go slip bobber, under 3' I just clip or peg a bobber where I want it.

    I use a slip bobber with a bullet weight. I did searches on-line and on youtube to find different ways to set up. I have always prefered bobber fishing so i can easily adjust depth. So I use a stopper, bead, slip bobber, bullet weight, quick change clip and a foot long leader with a gold 2 or 4 hook. I hook the minnow in the eyes or jaw if I troll or along the dorsal fin if i am anchored. I normally run around the lake till the fish finder bleeps and i find them bad boys! I then set my bait to their depth!

    I use weighted bobbers if I am castig a jig in shallow water (8 feet and less). I use a 1/8 ounce jig about three to four feet under the bobber. Cast out and use a slow retrieve to keep the bait at the depth you want. I have caught a lot of fish using this method.
    To make life enjoyable, you must have crappie days.

    Agreed. Thill makes a good slip bobber, especially the ones that are pencil thin. Too large a bobber creates too much resistance for light-hitters like crappie.
