Do you need a weight with a bobber?

Crimp a small split-shot sinker on your line just below the bobber, enough weight to help keep the bobber upright but not so much that it sinks the float. Fresh bait puts out natural scents that attract fish, so replace your worm once it gets soggy and turns pale. Now you can stop fishing and start catching!

When should I use a bobber?

They’re best suited for fishing waters no deeper than the length of your rod. This style keeps your bait at a preset depth while fishing. In deeper water, or when casting long distances, use a slip bobber to eliminate casting problems caused by the long length of line between the bobber and hook.

How much weight should I use with a bobber?

For a teardrop foam bobber and egg fishing in tidewater, I use 1 to 1.5 ounce in line weights. That works well with my ABU 6501 or older 6001. You can experiment with other weights. In the past I used the oval or bullet shaped weights but the in-line trolling weights work best for me.
