I like to use bobbers when fishing the spawn in shallow water and also if fishing around standing trees in the water. When I use them I want to use my longest rods and I am moving very slow from 0 to .03. I reel off enough line to have slack from the bobber to the rod tip. This allows the minnow to swim around to give a more normal look. When using the bobbers you are watching the bobber for hits but most of the time you will see the bobber moving in a side movement as the crappie sucks the minnow into its mouth or starts to swim off with the minnow. Other times it is just a hard hit :) Y'all need to try this in the spring, you may change your mine about bobbers and spider rigging.

All very good info. I have watched the pro on tv using this method. I was going to use slip bobber when fishing out the back of the boat this spring.
