Rig a slip

Bobber

Rigging a slip bobber is a breeze. First, fasten a bobber stop on your line. Some commercial ones are on string that comes pre-knotted around a tube. Thread your line through the tube and then slide the knot off the tube and tighten. Or try what I like best: a bit of rubber tubing so small that it impedes casting very little when wound on a reel. If your slip bobber has a large hole at the top, add a small plastic bead on your line to keep the stop from sticking inside the bobber. Thread on the bobber after the bead and then tie a hook to the end of your line with two or three small split-shot sinkers spaced a few inches apart, a foot or so above the hook.

This versatile terminal knot is excellent

for securing your line to a hook, lure,

or swivel; it’s perhaps most commonly

used to fasten the leader to a fly.

Pass several inches of line through the hook or lure eye (). Next, loosely wrap the tag end around the loop you’ve made (). Wind the leader several times around the loop, then pass it through the opening just below the hook (). Pass the leader through the far end of the loop (), and then tighten down and trim as necessary (). The hook itself will hang from the middle of the knot.
