What is a good slip bobber/float size and model?

Thill stealth, matched to whatever weight you're using.

There have been some good reads on this lately. I have gone through my collection and I think I am set for the season. I appreciate the info I have received and the recommended balancing shot research done by moonrunner and DB4D. Look back a little and pull up MR’s post. Good thill info.

Bass pro balsa oval slip in 7/8 size. With a #5 split shot, or a 1/16 jig head. Access Denied

For my junk bobbers that I dont care about using, I use the bass pro cigar style ones in the smallest size (can be slip or pegged). The red/yellow ones, you can reverse it and use either side up depending on the conditions. Access Denied These are #5 split shot for slightly heavy approach, or #7 for a higher floating bobber. Fits a 1/16 jig head perfectly

The matching part is key. I have more sizes and colors than most women have shoes. A perfectly tuned bobber is a deadly weapon.

One of the most important is using the correct size slip bobber for the fish you are fishing as well. If you are fishing bobber n minner for crappies, it makes a huge difference!!! Too big of a bobber and they'll feel that resistance and let go, you'll have the classic *hit* and tip it a little, then it starts to take off or go under and they let go. Now if you are fishing for 14" crappies or fish that are in a frenzy, it doesnt matter too much.. you could throw out a buoy and get fish. But if the fish are eater size, say 10-12" and are a little picky (why I am usually using a bobber in the first place) then having a bobber that is JUST big enough to keep your minnow up, or just big enough to see out there.. that fish wont even know the bobber is there and will hold on for a long time!

When fishing the classic spawning technique of bobber and jig up shallow, I'll often use a 1/32 jig and the smallest clip on or pegged bobber that can float the jig. With the smaller bobber you'll see the fish grab on when he does the classic "grab the bait and move it away from his nest". I dont even know the size of these floats or what to call them, just go to your nearest shop and grab likely the smallest they have! Same tiny little float with a minnow and NO WEIGHT is hot for me too, when they just wont eat the jig on the beds.
