| Bobbers / Floats: Bobbers, or floats, are made to keep your bait suspended at a certain depth and also to give you a visual aid for when you get a bite. Bobbers are used for live bait the majority of the time, but there are some circumstances where you can work a small jig under a bobber and catch some nice crappie and other panfish. Bobbers float on top of the water so you can easily see them. If there is wind or current, your bobber will float towards the current moving your bait along with it. There are a few different types of bobbers on the market. There are round bobbers that will move and then go under when you have a bite. Another type of bobber is the stick bobber, that lays flat on the water. As soon as you have a bite, the bobber pops straight up, then goes under. This is more noticeable when you are watching for a bite. There are also glow in the dark bobbers for night fishing and slip bobbers. Slip bobbers are set up to fish deeper water. A rubber stop is put up the line at the desired depth you want your bobber to stop. You cast the bait out and the bait drops to the bottom with the line slipping through the bobber. Once it reaches the rubber stop, the line stops and you are at the depth that you want to fish. |
