Trout can be fickle fish at times. Sometimes the best way to get a trout bite going is to downsize your lures or bait but casting small lures can be difficult. A water bobber allows you to add a substantial amount of weight enabling you to cast further and cover more water using light weight lures. They are especially effective at making it possible to fish flies on a spinning rod.

Thanks for another beautiful video! One thing I have done in the past when fish are being extra finicky is to put the bobber on a dropper so that I have a direct connection to the lure. Occasionally that is helpful. I have fished like this using Joe's flies (weightless spinner +fly) since I was a kid. It was a popular technique back in PA.

@mikelabelle420 2 жыл бұрын

I notice my line gets wrapped around itself quite often with this technique. Same bobber with 3-4 foot leader down to fly. Not sure if it hangs up on cast or winds up on retrieve. I don't cast hard or whip it out there violently. Any suggestions?

@spiltmilt 2 жыл бұрын

I change my casting style to a sweeping cast rather than overhead and that helps

You can see it more than feel it. They make brightly colored version of this bobber to aid in detecting the bite

@lw7128 3 жыл бұрын

So when you use the water bobber. Is your wooly bugger weighted? Or Do you add a small split shot to weigh it down if your fly isn’t weighted? Or Is this more of a surface or upper water level presentation?

@spiltmilt 3 жыл бұрын

It really depends on the depth you want to target. Sometime I'll find trout feeding just subsurface and then I use an unweighted fly other times they are feeding deeper then I'll use a weighted fly or add a small split shot. They even make sliding water bobbers where you'll need to use a bobber stop but then you can fish much deeper.

@thomasflickinger1949 Жыл бұрын

@@spiltmilt Adding a split shot is OK, what I did was, get some tungsten puddy and mold a small piece on your line. You can regulate the size and of course the position to suit the situation.

@flyguy2021 3 жыл бұрын

It can be tough on light line. I’ll sometimes use a length of heavier test with a loop at the end to pull the 2 or 4 pound test through.

How long do you make the leader off the bobber?

@spiltmilt 3 жыл бұрын

If you flip the bobber, then it can’t unwind on the cast no matter how heavy or full the bobber is.

Yes, the instructions say that the pointy end of the bobber should always face the rod.

Why the water bobber over say, a regular bobber with some weight directly under it? Is it because the water bobber floats sideways on the surface?
