+John Vanyo Sr, I can see why he called it that,, it does look like a barrel. This knot is actually the single improved-clinch knot. There is a double improved-clinch knot where instead of taking the single tag end of the line through the hook, you double it over and tie the same knot. Not really sure if it is stronger. Thanks for watching!

The barrel (or Blood) knot is used to the two lines together. Real useful after a line break to get back fishing quick.

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 !!!!!!

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.

My dad used rubber bands as a stop on slip corks, it worked but you needed to keep the rubber band and line wet when you slipped it up or down.

Scale, gut, make a few slits on both sides and smother them with turmeric powder and sugar and deep fry them. Oolala!

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,

Really nice. To the point and well done.

Hi Bryan - check out your name and mine! And now 2 yrs later, I am 51 and learning how to do this! Maybe it’s a glitch in the matrix or something. All the best to you!

Super helpful. I'm new to crappie fishing so this helps! You can tie the improved clinch super fast with forceps. Make a loop with the line like normal, but insert the forceps through the loop. Turn the forceps 4-6 times to create the wraps and then grab the tag end with the forceps and pull it through. Then just insert tag through upper loop. Takes 2 seconds to tie it with forceps when you get the hang of it.

Will definitely try this - sounds like a time saver!

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.

Thanks for this video! I did not know how to use those slip bobbers mainly because I always cast and retreive or straight line jig over the side. That is just a really great effective way to get suspended fish. FYI: when I was a kid fishing back in the 60's they would have a knot diagram on all types of product packaging called the "fisherman's knot." It was the "clinch knot" which is now "improved." It always said to make 7 winds around the main line. I still do it. Putting the tag end thru that last loop is the "improvement." Appreciate the time you took sharing a great technique!

long tag ends will not wind correctly on the reel, and will not feed well through the eyes of the rod. Try trimming then after pulling the knot tight.

Man.i can remember when I was a kid.my dad use to take a piece of fishing line & tie it in knots above his bobber & slide it up & down.i never really payed much attention to it.bug I guess it was the old-school way of making a slip cork.i like this better.but he used to catch em

Great video,A lot of information in such a short time

Had to try

I have found the fused braided lines work every bit as well as monofilament in a spinning rig. And the knots hold better and are easier to tie. I haven't used mono in years. It doesn't tend to spin off the reel in a tangle either.

Great job bro. Fantastic tip, I can definitely appreciate your efforts making this video. I'm looking forward to using this tip. :)

Carlos Barroso Bass Freak Check out 3 pound crappie fishing. Awesome crappie content with drone footage.

great video.

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!

Wow that was intense lol

great tutorial

Should wet it with spit si it doesnt heat up when you tighten it and compromise the strength of the line.

Good job. It was understandable, and I now know how to use a slip bobber. Was wondering why you had to redo the rig and why you emphasized using artificials and not having to go get bait when at 12:00 minute you clearly have a live minnow.

@FloppingCrappie

6 жыл бұрын

Kenneth Garrison my bobber stop was slipping so i re-tied a new stop on the line. And the 12:00 minute mark was not a minnow, that a really small crappie that fell off the hook. I can see how you though it was a minnow though. I didn't have any live bait in the boat with me when I filmed this, but I have used minnows on this type of rig. It's just cheaper to use plastics since live bait is sometimes hard to keep for days.

Love it man , my favorite fish to catch right on man.

I'm new to crappie fishing. I'm curious about the bead. what are they for and what do they do

Check out Gapen bobbers, they have a hook on device using a simple plastic stopper to create that hole for the line to slip thru. Someone is then able to attach and detach their bobber in certain situations. Works nice, tons of sizes, Gapen.

Nice man! Do you ever use minnows or crappie nibbles and can this same set up work for either of these scenarios?

@FloppingCrappie

Yes, you can use minnow or crappie nibbles with this setup as well. I would recommend an Aberdeen hook and sit shot if you're using minnows
