Thill Pro Series Slip Float Premium Fishing Bobber

Up your game with a real bobber. You can see the nibbles with these, and adjust your depth in the water column with ease. The knots they send with you are chintzy so I use something else. Regardless, these bobbers are exceptional. Way better than the clip on Styrofoam ones.

A standard Thill slip bobber has a small hole in the plastic in its top for the line to go through. Occasionally, a groove will form in the plastic, stopping the line; and being small, means it takes longer for the hook and sinker to pull the line all the way through. Whereas the Thill Pro Series bobber has a metal grommet with a larger opening, allowing the line to go through faster, I now use the Thill Pro Series on all of my fishing rods and I love them.

These are solid. Great product very nice look feel and design. They came in fast and are super easy to use. I used them for crappie fishing. I ended up in a tree and was super mad because I lost this in the process. Will definitely buy again.

Dang, I should’ve bought these years ago. I’ve tried every slip bobber. Received this today instantly went fishing tonight and it works great. I think the brass insert helps plus the hole in the end is bigger.

The Thill 7/8 inch Pro Series weighted slip float (bobber), with brass top grommet, turns my fishing hobby into an art form. I simply love them! Using a fine quality slip float is NOT the same as the kids' fixed clip-on plastic bobber. These are MUCH more sophisticated. Thill floats allow me cast with freedom and precision knowing that the knot that I've tied will set the exact depth that I want to fish without having to swing lots of line that would otherwise have to dangle. When casting, the knot that you tie up the line will pass freely through my rod's eyelets while the bead and bobber will simply let the line slip through until it reaches the calculated depth - I use my rod length to measure the precise depth that I want my line to sink to too. They help me FIND the fish by easily adjusting the depth and as long as the tiny yarn knots hold fast, they will hold their position. They also help me keep my bait in the exact place that I want. I have found that I can use these, and the other available diameter sizes, for many different types of fish, fishing rigs, and I can even use them on braid (with a slightly shortened fluorocarbon/mono leader. I even troll with them to keep my bait high in the water - if I have to stop for a fish on one line, I know that my other troll lines are safe from sinking into snags and I have an excellent visual reference for where my lines are. The weighted ones will sit more vertically in the water and add just enough weight that no sinkers are needed when using a jig. I learned to tie my own bobber yarn knots using two cocktail straws (YouTube) using high-visibility bead thread and my own choices of bead colors from my local hobby/craft store (CHEAP!) too. Recently, I devoted an entire new tackle case dedicated solely to my Thill floats. I want to frame a set of them, illuminate them, and buy them a drink!
