Thread: bobber options

They make weighted floats to help extend your range. I have a few rocket bobbers that cast pretty far.

Comal Tackle makes a ton of different kinds of floats for a low price .

How long of rod you using? When I was bobber fishing from bank I would use a 9’ rod to help zing em out there further.

When I have the space. Some of those spots are brushed in

I use my own Carter bobber. I make one type of slip float that uses a 1/4 ounce egg sinkers for longer casts of about 90+ feet and I make a style that uses a 1/8 ounce sinker for other casts. A Dollar Tree pool noodle will make over 200 slip bobber floats.
