That's a great point cp.It took me having to actually rig-up a slip cork rig to understand how it worked.I was on here for a while asking lots of questions about everything,and nothing made much sense until I put my first set-up together.I guess I'm the kind of person that has to see it to comprehend it,now it's like "man that's so simple,why did I try to complicate it so much?"

I just realized that it was you who answered my questions on "slip cork fishing for dummies".Thank you for your patience and willingness to each others.Both you and Ship have been a lot of help teaching this old dog a new trick.

Wow, this is info is really great!! you all make it very understandable.

What ever happened to a bobber some wieght and a live bait on a hook. I keep it simple. 5 poles in water spaced every 3-5 yards on the bank all at different depths. Its like the fishes are going to a gun fight with a little pocket knife. There is no way I'm leaving without some kind of panfish.

That hasn't gone anywhere, and it's still effective ... to a point. You're somewhat restricted by the length of your rod, if using a fixed bobber ... whereas you're able to cast your rig farther, and fish deeper, with a slip float. That's even more evident when fishing from the bank, but is still a factor when fishing from a boat. And, not all bobbers/corks/floats are equal, nor are any one of them an "all in one best choice" for every situation.

I use a plano box and fill it with nine of my favorite pre-tied double rig lures combinations. I cut off those paint stir sticks to fit the compartment size and put a notch at each end. Sand it down so the line does not catch. Drill a small hole for the bottom hook eye. Place the bottom hook eye into the hole and wind the line into the notches. When you are ready to fish or change lures just unwind, tie on...then fish on.
