    Default Favorite Slip Float


    I love to float fish for all kinds of fish especially crappie and brim. Always looking for new floats. Whats your favorite slip float brand and model.

    If I buy them I like Thill pencil type. Mostly I just use whatever I find caught in the trees hanging over the water.

    I've been using these for over 10 years, very deadly, The Everlasting Slip Bobber - the world's finest slip bobber!

    So do I, but I don't grab every one that I see. If I see a Thill, I'll go out of my way to get it. But the ones I encounter most of the time, and the ones I will grab (if it's within reasonable reach) are the Comal cigar shaped slip floats. I'll leave the spring type and plastic round bobber type floats for someone else.

    I’ve had a Wing It brand slip float on my slip rod for a couple of years now. Aerodynamic, it flies better in the wind than any other I’ve tried so far.

    I love the ones I make from pool noodles and an inserted plastic drinking straw. It is the "Green flyer." Easy to see and is four inches by one inch. It supports lures from 1/64 ounce up to 7/16th ounce.

    I went to a local winery that uses the real cork stoppers in their bottles and got me a plastic bag full at the end of wine tasting season 2 yrs ago. They gave me a whole bag for free. Took a small drill bit and drilled a hole, glued in a plastic stir stick, trimmed the stir stick and wallah. If you want to see it a distance paint it a bright fluorescent color. Holds the 1/32 jigs just fine, and none of it cost any thing, as I reuse the stir stick from buying a cup of coffee...just blow any coffee out of the straw when you get outside the store...
