Then I tried casting far out and the line did get fouled up at least half the time. So what can you do under these circumstances? Seems like the slip bobber is much better in open water than from the bank.
My slip bobber, the style on the left in your initial post picture, did not stand up perfectly straight. It seemed like the bead weighed enough that it tilted it slightly. Did not seem to be a problem but would prefer it to stand straight - so maybe my bead was too big or did?
There were 2 slip knots in the package with 2 bobbers. It seems like one will need a lot more slip knots than bobbers so can you purchase slip knots separately? Any way to reuse the tube that the thread is on?
I was generally pleased with how my first try with a slip bobber went even though didn't catch any fish with it. Any further advice is much appreciated!
