Got these thinking they were the slightly larger Panfish floats ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx_rJB7cli5f1ofPVGgn80S7Yj4vqwq0gU they work just fine. The smaller size lets me carry more in my tackle box, and the 3 color choices are nice for different lighting conditions, backgrounds, etc. They aren't the most durable things in the world.

Went fishing for the first time since I was eight, today. I cought nothing but I went back to the fishing store looking for advice and the guy told me to try this rig. This helped a lot to understand what I'm doing. Thanks, Jack. And let's hope for better luck tomorrow.
@@FishingWithJack two trouts today!! The second one was too small to keep but the fight was good. We were fishing a pretty swift mountain stream so I ended up removing the bobber and going only with hook and small sinker. Good day all in all I would say. I'll be coming back to your channel!
Thanks! To answer your question... yes, but keep in mind that powerbait floats, so you will need to add a split shot weight close to the hook, or get a type of powerbait that sinks. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend this rig for powerbait, instead I would use a real/synthetic night crawler, or some synthetic eggs. If you really want to use powerbait though, I would recommend using a bottom rig. This consists of a main line connected to an barrel swivel that has an egg sinker. Then, tied to the barrel swivel is a foot or two of leader to a hook, covered with powerbait. This might be a little confusing so please let me know if you have any more questions, or anything you would like me to make a video on. I'm glad to help you out!
@@FishingWithJack Can you make a video for the best powerbait rigs? I would really appreciate it. I just started trout fishing a I want to learn how to properly fish powerbait.
It depends on the lake… the clearer the water, the longer the leader I go, and same goes with temperature. If it’s super hot out, I go longer leader to get down into colder water. One last thing to consider is how much pressure the lake receives. If it is a mountain lake that barely gets fished, go longer leader. If it’s just a local hotspot, it’s totally fine to go with a shorter leader. Let me know if you have any more questions, I hope this helped!
Great weejo my man, hard to find this kind of tuts for beginners! Subscribed. I was looking for this exact setup, wanna try the river near by. I live in China :D Wish me luck!
Thanks! I’m so glad this video helps beginners as intended, and I really appreciate the feedback. I wish you the best of luck out on the river. Tight lines brother!
Yes it is! I definitely recommend that size as it has a small profile but still good visibility. I don’t know if I would go much smaller, as if you get a ripple on the water or something it would be hard to see, and any bigger would spook fish… so in my opinion 1/4 oz. is the way to go!
So Jack, the egg sinker will not try to sink to the bottom as long as it is the same weight as the bobber? GUessing it is just to add weight for casting it out there without it falling?
Yes that can work! When you purchase a bobber it will have a fraction on the side that represents the recommended weight for the bobber, so I would get a bobber that has 1/2 written on the side. Thanks for the question!
The bead acts as a buffer almost ,it has a smaller hole than the bobber so the line stops it and it stops the bobber.if you buy any slip bobber string kits they come with the beads
usually i put a split shot between the swivel and the hook, is this wrong for the swivel to work right should i put the weight above the swivel? thing is the longer the leader the more chances of tangling on the cast
Yes that works perfectly fine! I’ve used that setup a few times but I don’t prefer it because it makes the weight easily visible for fish, but it’s really just personal preference. Let me know if you have any more questions!
@@FishingWithJack well it's just that i am not sure if the weight needs to be above or below a swivel in order for it to work right,, yes i do have another question if you know much about drag setup,, i have a mitchell 300 c new model spinning reel and it is rated for 10 to 14lb test mono and 20lb test braid and the max drag is 14lb so does this mean i should be able to dead lift up to 14 lbs of weight directly from the reel without any problems or can i most likely expect that either it will start slipping way before i reach 14lb or that the line roller or the bail arm holding the roller will break?
@@ARCSTREAMS I'm sure you got your answer already, since this is a 2-year-old comment. Just in case though, your drag setting should 20-25% of line weight. If fishery has hard hitting bites, I go up to 30%. EXAMPLE - 12lb test - 10% is 1.2lbs, 25% 3lbs. I have a lead weight that's 3lbs and tie to weight, start pulling rod up and tighten drag until drag is starting and stopping randomly. With that said, I do my own maintenance on reels and have confidence in my drag washers. I never adjust drag when I'm out getting line wet, unless I catch some crazy monster and need to tighten a few small clicks (Which i turn back to original setting after landing).
yes there are different percentages ppl go by but i learned trying to set my drag by dead lift through the rod is a bad idea as i ended up breaking a brand new Berkeley lighting rod with about a pound only if i recall,,so better to do it directly from the spool holding the reel vertical so the line come straight down to the weight you are lifting then just keep setting till the line does not slip anymore @@2873lonewolf
It is a knot that is over the main line, that stops the bobber from floating up past that point. It acts as a stopper, and it has to be bigger than the hole that the line goes through in the bobber for it to be effective.
It should be on average around a foot long, but it depends on how you're fishing. If you are fishing a very pressured or clearwater lake, you want a long leader so you don't scare the fish away with the braid. But in dirtier lakes it doesn't matter as much. Thanks for the question!
I usually use a one/two foot leader. A good rule of thumb is you use a longer leader the clearer the water, and a shorter leader the murkier the water.
@@FishingWithJackIf I wanted to set the knot above the slip bobber to fish 8 ft of depth, will I still be able to cast it or will I have to toss it by hand?
Thanks! I am using a 1/0 bait keeper hook, from Gamakatsu. Using a bead between the weight and the knot is usually not required if your main line is braid, because it's a lot harder to damage the line. But if your main line is monofilament of fluorocarbon, then yes, I would recommend using a bead. Thanks for the question!
Almost all my trout this year have been caught on this rig! (30+) in fact, my next video will feature me catching some monster cutthroat trout on this!
@@kaydenharman7319 Yes! just make sure it can be set up on a slip-float rig. But, if you are fishing a mountain lake, or any lake that is not popular, I would use something more obscure, that maybe has a smaller profile. Other than that, it would work perfectly fine. Good luck and tight lines to you!
This kid just taught a 50 year old, new fisherman a new skill. Thanks buddy.
This makes my day man! So glad I was able to share this skill with ya. Thanks for the comment! Tight lines bro!

Heck yeah man!!!!! Way to adapt to that stream. I’m beyond excited to have you part of the channel community!
Great video! I prefer to keep my leader line the same length as my rod.

Thanks for sharing
Simple and efficient
I use a similar set up but with a cone style bobber. You can rig it like a mini version of a popping cork used in saltwater. It’s a fun method.
That sounds fun… I love crossing saltwater and freshwater techniques. It makes presentations unique. Thanks for the idea!
How well does that bobber knot go through your guides?
Pretty easy my g, you should have no problems
How do you decide the length of leader to keep the lead weight as out the fishes' line of sight as possible.
It depends on the lake… the clearer the water, the longer the leader I go, and same goes with temperature. If it’s super hot out, I go longer leader to get down into colder water. One last thing to consider is how much pressure the lake receives. If it is a mountain lake that barely gets fished, go longer leader.

@@FishingWithJack Big help. Thank you...!
Glad I could help you out!
Use the clear see through bobber.
Hey great tutorial I have been looking for videos to help me do this
Got a very similar setup for my trout lines. It does slay.
This setup is proven to slay!
Could you use bobber stoppers instead of knots?
Yes!

Best vid! Thanks my Man!
Thanks man! Glad I could help!
Great video!
Is that an XL bobber (7/6) with an 8th ounce barrel weight? I have that same setup, and it works great for fishing deeper brushes piles.
Can this be applied to walleyes guys ?
Is that a 1/4 oz. float? What size do you recommend for mountain lake trout?
Yes it is! I definitely recommend that size as it has a small profile but still good visibility. I don’t know if I would go much smaller, as if you get a ripple on the water or something it would be hard to see, and any bigger would spook fish… so in my opinion 1/4 oz. is the way to go!
Very helpful thanks!
Your welcome! Thanks for watching!
How much weight that egg sinker weigjt?
So Jack, the egg sinker will not try to sink to the bottom as long as it is the same weight as the bobber? GUessing it is just to add weight for casting it out there without it falling?
Yes you got it! As long as it is the weight of the bobber it will not pull the bobber down under the water line. Thanks for the question Edward!
What size float and egg sinker should I use? I'm usually fishing in lakes. Thanks.
depends on your rod size man but trout is usually a small rod and with that 1/16-1/8 ounce usually and 1/4 max, don't go over 1/4
Easy + Effective is right for sure :P thanks!
Of course! Thank you!
How well does this work for catfish bank fishing?
Hi. Thanks for the video. I can't find 1/4 only 1/2 will that be okay?
Yes that can work! When you purchase a bobber it will have a fraction on the side that represents the recommended weight for the bobber, so I would get a bobber that has 1/2 written on the side. Thanks for the question!
why do you need the bead if you're using the bobber stop line?
The bead acts as a buffer almost ,it has a smaller hole than the bobber so the line stops it and it stops the bobber.if you buy any slip bobber string kits they come with the beads
@@lurchaddams4179 Exactly, that's a great way of explaining it! All it is is a buffer between the bobber and the line tie/bobber stop. Thanks!

what kind of bait are you using with this rig?
I use worms! Best bait in my opinion for this setup
@@FishingWithJack Ok thanks!
@@FishingWithJack type of worms?
Night crawlers are my go-to!
Great video
Thanks man! Glad I could help. Comments like this mean everything.
I believe having some length between bobber and sinker will serve the purpose of the sinker.
Yes that is a common way to measure it… it does vary depending on the application though. Thanks for the feedback!
Nice video !!
Thanks man! I appreciate the support!
Is a 3.5ft leader fine for deep water?
Perfectly! I would experiment a bit and see what works best for you.
What exactly is a bobber stop knot
It is a knot that is over the main line, that stops the bobber from floating up past that point. It acts as a stopper, and it has to be bigger than the hole that the line goes through in the bobber for it to be effective.
How long will the leader line be?
It should be on average around a foot long, but it depends on how you're fishing. If you are fishing a very pressured or clearwater lake, you want a long leader so you don't scare the fish away with the braid. But in dirtier lakes it doesn't matter as much. Thanks for the question!
@@FishingWithJack Thank you fer the answer. Now i jest learned sumthing new.
How long is the length of the leader
I usually use a one/two foot leader. A good rule of thumb is you use a longer leader the clearer the water, and a shorter leader the murkier the water.
@@FishingWithJackIf I wanted to set the knot above the slip bobber to fish 8 ft of depth, will I still be able to cast it or will I have to toss it by hand?
@@FishingWithJack what test flourocarbon for salmon wud you use here
Tried this exact set up and my bobber sank. What am I doing wrong.
Your weight may be too heavy. Try a lighter weight.
Wait! What’s the green line knot for?
Stops the bobber from going above it.
Thank big brother
Haha no problem lil bro!
Nice vid what size hook are you using and should use a small bead between slip weight and swivel to protect knot
Thanks! I am using a 1/0 bait keeper hook, from Gamakatsu. Using a bead between the weight and the knot is usually not required if your main line is braid, because it's a lot harder to damage the line. But if your main line is monofilament of fluorocarbon, then yes, I would recommend using a bead. Thanks for the question!
What size float?
1/4oz seems to do well
Why the leader?
You don't lose the whole setup when snagged.
He's right, but also it is usually a lighter line. This means it's clearer underwater, and harder for the fish to detect.
What is the benefit of using a slip on bobber vs snap on one ?
a slip bobber is in my opinion a bit easier to adjust, but it really all comes down to personal preference
Excellent 👋👋👋🇮🇷
I appreciate the support from ya! Thanks!
trop bon 👍👍
Question: How long is your flouro leader?
Between 1-2.5 feet depending on the clarity. Remember- the clearer the water the longer the leader!
@@FishingWithJack Understood, I'll have to remember that. Thanks.
Glad I could help!
@@FishingWithJack great videos and great info. always learning a lot especially from videos like this.
