I need a solution to my problem. I bought some bobbers for when I am spider rigging in high winds. The problem is these bobbers are slip floats and I need to find a way to make them clip ons. Any and all solutions will be greatly appreciated. "Thanks" in advance
Buy new ones. You can't covert a slip cork to a clip on.
It won't be a clip on....but you can use them as a fixed bobber by pegging them to your line.....run the line through them.....set the depth and them stick a piece of toothpick or a wooden peg in the top hole and press down to lock your line to the bobber so it cant slide.
I took some of my slip corks to the band saw and cut a slit in one side just to the middle. That way you can put them on the line and take them off whenever necessary. Find a stick of the right size to go in the top of the cork hole to secure the line at the desired position. Just make sure the line is on the opposite side of the thruhole from the slit. Easy to put on, easy to remove.. Won't last as long if you use a stick that is too large as it will finally split the cork.
ok I give ? why would you want a non slip rig ?:popcorn
There may be lots of times when I want to fish say 4 ft deep around a submerged tree top and don't want to get close to it. I set the cork at 4 ft, let out 10-12 ft more line and swing the rig out over the treetop. I'm then fishing 24+ ft from the boat. Otherwise, I don't know why either... I've done that with a slip cork as well..
I was just trying to learn something else about chasing these fishes , not being a
There is a thread here where shipahoy41 makes a waggle style float............ I think that would do what you want.

Thrill slip floats work for me.....you can get them sized for whatever weight jigs you are useing.
I never use a float. [emoji12]
