Bobbers?

[Just_Bass]

Looking for new bobbers ideas. Bobbers that suitable for 60-80’ distance is 5-10mph cross wind. Preferably not too heavy.

Hey, buddy .... you'd probably be better off with a slip float than a "bobber" (ie: clip-on type), so you can avoid the "end over end" twirling of bobber & jig. Though you might have a problem with the "bobber stop" hanging up in the line on the reel or going thru the rod guides/tip (esp. on spinning gear). A lot of that depends on how deep you're fishing below the float, too.

In a 10mph crosswind, for any accuracy, you'll need to use a little "Kentucky Windage" in your aim. ( ie : a windage correction made by aiming to the right or left of the target in a crosswind. )

Big bodied waggler — Thill or Drennan.

Thill slip bobber, rubber stop (same type of mini-oval used for T-Rigs in the bass world) and a small bead (to prevent the stop from getting stuck in the slip-bobber)

This is the setup I use on my Avocet RZT-2000/Diawa Procyon 7' L/F rig using 4# Yo-Zuri Hybrid line.

I prefer thills and small rubber stops for 2-6 lb line. It allows me to easily adjust to my desired fishing depth

I like the ESB. Everlasting slip bobber

Another vote for the Everlasting slip bobber. Those things are great.

Fishes slip or fixed. Weighed and can easily throw 60'. I've used them all . I throw every thing from flies to 1/16 oz jigs. These floats come weighted or unweighted. They are very versatile.

Yeah I hear you guys about true slip bobbers. I still prefer fix bobbers because I can take on-off bobbers without cutting and re-tie. I have a way to use fixed bobbers with 7-8’ depth if I need to. Oh btw I need bobbers to be able to equip with light stick. Too picky, I know even though I have about 6-7 setups from super UL to ML but I prefer only take one setup with me when bank fishing.
This is what I’ve been using but still welcome new idea.
I modified these bobbers to take at most 1/16oz head without any extra weight and reducing the weight to be around 4 grams that I can cast with my UL rod. The last picture is how I handle long leader with a piece of magnet. I just got myself new rod 7’8” major craft crosstage with lure rating of 2-10 grams.

These are the ones I use when using a fixed float. They are three for a dollar at Walmart. I make my slip floats from Leland brand slip corks and a coffee straw.
