Slip bobber depth

[CrappieTim]

What is the deepest that you fish a slip bobber? What length rod do you use?

2 years ago during the hot summer, when water temps we pushing 90 degrees, we were fishing about 25 feet deep. At the time we were fishing with 6' ultra lite rods.

With a slip float you can basically fish as deep as you want. Deepest ive gone so far is 9ft but that was with a 6ft rod. Just picked up an 8ft BnM Bucks jig pole, havent gotten a chance to use it yet though. Planning on fishing around 12ft deep with it though.

The boys are correct ... with a slip float, you're depth isn't a factor vs your rod length, like it is with a fixed depth bobber (spring or clip-on style).

Me, personally .... I've used 6-8ft rods and fished a slip float up to around 15-20ft deep. But, around here, that depth range is the normal deepest depth I go for Crappie.

The deepest i use a slip floatis ten feet. Beyond that i would use a drop shot rig. Welcome from Alabama.

I'll regularly use one 20 ft. around bridge pillars mostly.

I've fished fished em' from 2' to 20'. Just depends where they're hangin out. The only thing I pay attention to is how far from the boat my rig is. Too far out sometimes effects the hook set when you're fishing deep.

If your fishing 30' of water and fish are suspended at 20' how would you dropshot them? And to remove confusion lets say you have no means to vertical jig them. Really curious about this statement.

45 foot under the ice for perch.
