it's called a slip bobber , used with just enough weight to stay afloat but enough so when a fish takes the bait it sinks without the fish feeling it , the knot goes on the line first [ remove the tube the knot is on ] then the bead then the bobber , i use a split shot after that then your hook , the weighted slip bobber needs less split shot below , the slip knot can be adjusted to whatever depth down or off the bottom you want to fish . i first used this set up in minnesota for walleye and did very well keeping the bait about 18 inoff bottom

if you are on your death bed and you never believed in god it might be a good idea to consider it at that time , just in case , and with masks , every little bit can help as well . IMO .

I don't need to look through a scope or anything else to know what was so simple once upon a time , my sights stay open through ignorance and superstition rational and what matters, although through another's eyes the conception is sure to change

I believe fishing is a safe thing to do for most of us and i am missing the best fishing in years however just look at what happens at the ramp and the idiots on the water when common sense is not to be found . when things open up again look out, after people being cooped up for so long , yes we could go and be careful and be fine I get that but I was told when I was a foreman that I cant expect other people to do what I can or what I would do . I see how fast it spread around the world and would rather hold the fort down a little longer than a second wave that would be like starting over on top of what we already have , so far as we are going to die some time anyway I worked over 50 years on the books , I want to enjoy myself I deserve it and want to collect my pension and SS i paid into all those years for a while anyway , I'm glad you live in a safer place and I trust you will be smart because we've been around the block , not so for everyone . is that eastern washington state , wow great fishing up there ! I wish you the best for many years to come . Peace !

I use open sights !

I don't know about Idaho but here it is real , I just found out my friends wife has been in hospital 3 days with it their daughter who just turned 5 has it and he just tested positive today and they only went to the market and pharmacy in the last 3 weeks . I finally had to go to the Aldi for food , tried at noon but couldn't get it it was so crowded so I waited till dinner time and out of the maybe 20 people in there half had masks on 3 others didn't cover their nose even after the governor said everyone is to ware something over the face and nose . until it hits them they just don't get it ! I have 3 sons at home now , one works at McDonalds in close quarters with 7 people , one is an EMT in phila . the other is an IT at Holy Redeemer Hospital so we are doing everything we can , they are 19, 21 and 23 , good odds for them I hope , I am 67 , not so good . however they are devoted to the cause and I am devoted to them . here in the northeast , Pa. N.J. N.york it is serious and people are being so stupid every time Mr. Big shot goes on TV and down plays this thing . that's My observation .

what size are they , keepers ?

epdm -- ethylene propylene diene monomer --m class rubber not suitable for oil kero petro ect.

replace with a hose that has a neoprene inner tube and outer cover , if the cover is epdm the vapors will eat it up in a closed application . outside on a pump it will air dry

not fitting to the story but very sweet ! Peace Brother
