We are heading to the south arm in late May next year. We DO NOT want to bring live bait but we also fully understand the effectiveness of the deadly slip bobber. I have a few packs if Lunkerhunt Leeches that I think will work well. Does anyone have suggestions for plastics to be used on a slip bobber? Thanks

It's not the bobber that catches the fish... it's the bait. And live bait is the best. The slip bobber technique allows you to get the live bait into the depth where the fish are feeding. A wigglely live leech is darn near irresistible... lures, plastics, etc, not so much.

You will need live bait to have success with slip bobber fishing.
