How to Tie a slip BOBBER for Crappie! EASY!

I'm 52 yrs. old & my DAD taught me this knot, but he called it a BARRLE KNOT.

I'm 62 yrs old, and I learned how to do this just now. Had no earthly idea, thanks Bud.

One of the most important video I 've ever seen. I'm 74 and I never seen anything like this. Going to town tomorrow and get rigged out. Thanks for the video !!!!!!

5 years later, here I am watching your video, Davis. Thank you for the nice tutorial that actually shows it works. I don't have a boat; I can't afford one BUT I appreciate that you catch some good fish I am salivating right now. Scale, gut, make a few slits on both sides and smother them with turmeric powder and sugar and deep fry them. Oolala! Now I'm going to watch your latest video to see how you look and sound like fast forward 5 years. 😊 Happy fishing from Warren, Pennsylvania, Davis!

This young man just showed us how to tie a crappie rig, do it cheaply, - and to top it off - he catches fish. NICE JOB Davis.

I've been tying that improved clench knot for years. Your technique for tying that knot was great! Makes the whole process much faster.

I need to say this again as I prepare for the fishing season.... This is THE BEST video I have seen on tying slip bobbers!!!!! Thanks again Davis!!!!

I have finally found some sound and simple crappie tips. Everyone wants to do complicated tricks. This is so simple.

Just found your channel. This video is absolutely the best ive seen on correct way of tying on a slip boober. No music , very cleat voice , wonderfull. Im a new subscriber now.

Thank you for showing exactly what to do! I haven’t found a channel yet that is this educational. Thank you!!

Better to use a swivel to attach a leader with jig. Round swivel won't get stuck in bobber stem. The jig will. Also if you use a lighter test for the leader, when snagged and have to break off the leader line will break and you won't lose your bobber and have to rerig the whole setup.

I used to bobber-fish for Northern with my Dad. We used the round bobbers held on by wire loops and turn the wire to the side so the bobber would slip but I could never figure out how to use those thru-the-bobber type. Back then, 1960's, we didn't have pre-tied knots we tied on tiny rubber bands. It worked. Now I know this way, thanks so much 60 yo Daddy's little girl,

Wow...259 dislikes by idiots commenting on his vid telling him how to do 'better' what he just showed us how to do. All of these "experts" giving him advice and thumbs down probably couldn't catch fish if their lives depended on it. By the way, good video brother 👊 I enjoyed it and appreciate the time and effort you took to try and teach others a skill you have learned.

Thank you fou all my crappie fishing lessons! When i cant go fishing i watch your videos!!!!!

I've tied thousands of improved clinches and your method blows my mind. No more fumbling, trying to thread the eyelet loop and getting my finger stuck on the improved loop. Thanks man!

Recommendation - use a smaller pencil bobber to minimize the tension the fish feels when it get's on the jig and easier for you to see bobber movement.

Great video, I had been wanting to rig a slip bobber, and you made it easy. Looking forward to trying it out this week.

I like the way this guy talks etc. Not like the other nitwits. I caught my first 2 crappie ever last night. At 44. No bobber etc as I was in a river, but I will watch you teach anything regarding fishing. Thanks!

I have a tip that might be beneficial. One of the best lessons I had learned with crappie fishing (especially using jigs) is using jig heads that are made of light wire. The commercial jig heads (RR and such) use heavy wire. If one is fishing for crappie in brush, light wire jigs are absolutely the best. If the jig gets snagged, you can gently pull the jig loose, without disturbing the crappie gang hanging out down there. Light wire will bend and come unsnagged exponentially easier, resulting in fewer lost jigs, while minimizing the disturbance of the brush pile one is on. Look for some independent jig makers in Texas for those with light wire jigs. I hope this helps, because it worked for me!

Nice video, plain and simple. I could actually see what you were doing. Good job!
