hi folks justin hoffman here for bass pro one source today i'd like to talk about a slip float setup exactly what it is and the components that are needed to put it together now slip float technique actually involves a slip float or slip bobber which you can see here a bobber stop which is right here which can move freely up and down your line a weight and then your bait or lure at the bottom now what a slip float setup actually does is it allows an angler to present his bait at varying depths of water so basically the way it's set up right here is i've got about oh maybe about 18 inches between where my float is going to sit at the top of the surface and where my lure is going to sit in the bottom now i can easily move that slip bobber up to say two feet three feet all of a sudden now my lure my bobber is going to move freely up and down the line it's going to come to rest where my bobber stop is being positioned and my bait now is going to be three feet down so great for suspended fish it's great guys will do this a lot for springtime panfish walleye on top of shoals or humps where they're going to move up and down so basically you can easily and effectively vary your presentation depth without re-tying at all so if you watch closely i'm going to give you some tips on how to rig one of these up and you can slip bobber next time you hit the water a slip float setup is fairly easy to do as long as you have the right components first you're going to need some bobber stops so with your main line you're going to with this style you're going to ease it onto in between the wires like so grasp both ends and then you're going to slide one of the bobber stops onto your main line like so so now that's on your main line move that down your line a bit next component is a slip bobber thread that on through the top first like so and pull it out from the underneath so as you can see now you're going to have your slip um your bobber stop your slip float next you're going to want to put on your lure at the very bottom of your line so we'll just tie this on quick to give you an idea now the last step is is a a lead weight as you have here split shot just quite a small one but it's got to be larger than the bottom of your slip float so normally put that up oh maybe about 12 inches up from your lure and i'm just gonna crimp this on here and there you have it there's the slip float setup you lure at the bottom lead weight slip bobber and your bobber stop and you're ready to go slip float some fish into the boat
