Three Reasons to Use Bobbers Foremost, they are bite indicators – although in some instances a fish does not need to actually pull the bobber underwater before the angler reacts with a hookset. Second, bobbers serve as a presentation aid, enabling anglers to retrieve a lure or live bait at a constant pre-determined depth. Third, a properly rigged bobber can increase casting distance when employing almost weightless live bait or a micro jig. How to Use Bobbers A stopper knot is critical to a good slip bobber rig. Stopper knots come pre-tied on short straws. Feed the tag end of the line through the straw. Then slide the knot off the straw onto the line. Gently pull each end of the knot but do not over-tighten. Remove the straw and slide the knot to the desired depth setting, then snug it a bit tighter. Add a stopper bead and then the slip float.
