The smallest slip bobber I could find are the small thill pro series slip floats. Problem is...with a 1/32 or 1/48 jughead, I still have to add a split shot to the line above the jig in order to make the bobber sit properly instead of just laying flat.
You will probably have to order you some on line !
I use the comal cigar floats I like the 1 1/2” for 32nd and smaller usually can get them for about $30-$35 shipped per 100
Thill Stealth is the lowest profile float I've seen, although they've been discontinued. Even still with jigs lighter than 1/32 I had trouble even getting them to pull the line through the float.
Check out ESB floats.
The ez trout float and ez panfish floats are my favorite for the little stuff.

tiny jigs dont slip well in slip floats unless you downsize the line to about nada ,2 or 4 lb might do itQuote:

Get some sinking line and it sinks just fine.Quote:

I fish a lot of 1/48, thell slip through if you use a limp 2-4lb line. Cant make a long cast though or they wont slip. To be honest I mostly use two of them under a slip float, or a tiny split shot above one just to make it easier on my sanityQuote:

I'm using the 4lb mr crappie camo line. I'm reticent to use a split shot, as they're plainly more visible to the fish, and my thinking is that if they're skittish, it might make a difference.

Yes FC….the 2# test Varivas Blue Moon FC is the ideal line for that. But I have trouble seeing it now. So I use the ES2 Ester Lemoni in 2.3# test. While polyester line can have some manageability issues I love the stuff and it sinks. Plus it is easy for me to see.Quote:
