    Default What is your favorite slip float?


    With all the rain we have been getting I am thinking I may have to use a slip float this year. What is your favorite for maximum casting distance. I believe I have some smaller rocket bobbers that can be rigged as a slip float. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Nothing can touch the waggler in terms of sensitivity and casting distance. It has proven superior in decades of international competition.

    Here is a video of the 2016 world championships. Every single fisherman is fishing a waggler. If you fast forward to the 19:00 mark, you will see 5-time world champ Alan Scotthorne. He has six rods set up -- each one with a waggler.

    I like the ESB also. I've used them so much I've wore the paint off.

    My favorite slip floats are the ones I find on the bank or floating in the lake most of which are various sizes of styrofoam body & plastic center quill with the spring line holder. I simply remove the center quill/spring part & use the styrofoam body. I figure I'm cleaning up the environment & recycling/re-purposing.
    And yes I do have some Thill slip floats that I did buy, once upon a time. But, to be quite honest about it, I rarely use "floats/bobbers" of any kind when Crappie fishing. Mostly I use floats of various kinds when fishing for Trout or Catfish at the local park lakes that are stocked by the KDFWR.

    I have tried a bunch of different ones and i always come back to the basic red and white comal foam cigar float, the only thing I change up about them is I put a peg in the top and bottom of the float to keep the line from cutting into the foam.

    Thill stealth waggler, or thill pro weighted. The weighted is better for casting.
