Do they make slip bobber weights? Looking for the kind you can just clip on to your slip bobbers (pencil ends) for tunning it while resting at water level (so slip is not sitting really high or too low) what can I buy or use? I use the standard thill foam slips that are really common, just looking for something fast and simple.

Thanks!

Lead split shot.

I'm a little confused, I think your asking for a weight to set your depth? In that case, I use an ice fishing clip on weight. I'm sure you could probably just use a snap weight from your trolling accessories.

For on the line, for use while fishing, both split shot or small egg weights.

Lindy has some weghted slip bobbers with a lead ring that slips onto the bottom part of the straw and is held on by a rubber oring.

I think the primary use of the weighted bobber is for casting distance though. To tune it properly you would adjust the amount of split shot you used as JJ siggested.

this is becoming the standard for bobbers. i think there are quite a few brands out there. 2 links below. first is the bobber and the second is an article that mentions them.
