    Default Removable Slip bobber


    anybody make their own DIY removable slip bobbers? I'm fish from a 10ft jon boat which gets crowded when I take buddies. It's nice to be able to get double duty out of the few rods we take; and re-tie as little as possible.
    I was thinking about using thread w. superglue to tie a barrel swivel to the tip of a float and attaching a Norman Speed Clip to the barrel. similar concept but from plastic:

    Do a search here for shipahoy41 waggle style float......... I think if you were to use it with a bobber stop and a bead it would work fine and is removable.........

    All Wing It has done is attempt to recreate a waggler float. Better late than never, I guess.

    I put a regular float on and turn the hook on the floater so it doesn't go into the slot. Put a bead above it to keep the bobber stop from going through the floater. It works great and is super fast compared to regular slip floats. Only drawback is that the floater will twist periodically.
    Hope this works for you.
