Which casting Teton for bobber fishing?

Post by hungry_cow » Sat Feb 02, 2019 1:23 pm

I like using a casting setup for slip bobber fishing for Crappie as I can get better accuracy casting around trees and flip as well. I am looking for a lighter casting than I have but don't need anything super high end for bobber fishing as sensitivity is not a factor. Which Kuying Teton would be recommended the L or UL casting rod? I usually have about 1/32 to 1/16 oz weight under a bobber with a #6 hook or jighead.

What kinda action are you looking for, do you want a noodle rod, fast action or something inbetween ?

Something in between, a noodle rod is hard to cast but I don't want to fast of an action since it is for Crappie.

Well I have the Teton Light, Ultralight, and the Super Ultralight models, the TTC-662L model is nice has a Medium fast action but might be a little stiff for your setup but I don’t fish slip bobbers so I’m not positive the TTC622UL is borderline noodle but I do like it for light crankbaits and jigs weighing around 2g total but the SUL model is a total noodle and I wouldn’t recommend it for your needs. I hope I helped some and I wish I could help more but like said I don’t cast that setup.

While I don't fish bobber rigs I wouldn't hesitate about throwing one on my 662L Teton. It won't quite load with 1/32 jig head and 1 inch plastic but the addition of even a small bobber should be more than enough.

I use the 662L with 1/8th oz for bobber fishing and it is great! Only wish it was 2' longer.
