How deep will you fish using a slip bobber and minnow or plastic?
I don't use them much but 2 foot for either for me. I'm sure much deeper would work.
Also bobbers are for children, it's a Strike Indicator! :highfive :biggrin
Don't use them very often, and always with minnows. I believe the last time I used them they were set to fish at 15' deep. But, in the past, I generally had them set at ~10' or less.
I would set them about a foot over the fish.
In my home lake, they will suspend around 17-25 ft in standing timber. A slip bobber with either bait gets the job done.

About 25' is my max.
I've fished them as deep as 50'. Had to upsize both lure(swedish pimple) and bobber to get it that deep.
Yep, I get that. Thanks. Been doing it all my life in fairly shallow water. Probably 10 foot being the deepest. Just wondering what everyone's limit was on actual lure/minnow depth under a bobber. I appreciate your response.Quote:

of course many would say it's impossible to use a pinch on that way ....
BUT ....come watch me some time is what I got to say bout dat..... :Rofl
p.s. and I NEVER use slip floats or minnows either , just saying :crazy:
I've never used slip floats but did rig up a rod with one late this spring. The plan was to use it in the 12-16' on fish that weren't in the mood to chase a jig. Never tried it though, it's on the list this fall.
Never minnows? So what are you using for bait? And your casts no doubt have to be don in long sweeping, smooth motion. Nicely done. 6’ was my max that back in the day.
Now that I’m older? Don’t try it. Don’t have the coordination…lol. A tip of the cap to you, Ketchn:ThumbsUp

a small bobber stop will remedy the casting style that I think you are referring to.Quote:

The legth of the rod plus another half. I purpose a 9' Sam Heaton for that so about 14ft. Anthying longer and the bead catches on the reel and there is to much line hanging to cast. Anything deeper and it is vertical jig time anyway.
