What are you fishing for, what species?

Panfish, I sue those little styrofoam weighted bobbers, I pitch them around lilly pads or reeds, they also work great for casting and slowly reeling them in. i like the weighted ones for control. I usually have the bobber a small splitshot and a red/white tube jig, adjust the bobber to the correct depth.

For Walleye, I use the JR's Tackle lighted slip bobbers.
Bobber, slip knot and some type of jig or plain red hook.

just small equipment for panfish, like pat said those tubes work, and they work well for me.

NG i'm just a small guy so I got me one of them tubes they have for the 100 ton trucks they use in the mine. Tied a seat in it and was off. lol

[Cody Gruchow]

i thought you meant floating around in a tube

[HD]

NG you must mean a belly boat, I use one when I go trout fishing with a fly rod.
Got some flippers to move around with and some waders, the insulated ones.


It's fun, specially on small lakes that don't allow motors.
