Slip Bobber question

[Dave in Walker]

I always spray the portion of my line that is adjusting the bobber stop with Pam, sliding the bobber stop heats up the line and becomes the weak link

Re: Sliding - Yeah, I always feel somewhat destructive when sliding the knot, thinking perhaps, I could be weakening the line. For that reason, I am careful to avoid sliding quickly, rather, just a slow move.

Looking to get a rod that will be used for fishing slip bobbers. Has anyone used this one? How did it work for you?

7.5'-8' Med - med light rod, size 2500 spinning reel, 30# braid main line. This is the order I rig my slip bobber set ups: Slide small bead on, slide thill pro series float on, slide 1/16-1/8 bullet weight on, slide another small bead on, tie on a small power swivel. 4-5 foot 6# flouro leader with 1/16 - 1/8 live bait jig head on. For a bobber stop, I use 30# Fly line backer in orange, all you need to do is tie a uni knot onto the main line. This system has never let me down.

I basically run the same set-up, but have never tried the uni knot as a stop. going to try that, great idea.
