Try the rubber bobber stops, they come in a little plastic ring with 8 or 10
Slide line through wire loop and pull bead and rubber stop onto your line.
I find the rubber ones much easier to rig and they don’t get hung up in rod guides as much as the thread style.
Seem to cling to braid ok a well.
The small size will work on a spinning reel so you can slip bobber a any depth, a bait cast reel works even better
Sometimes a slip float rig set at 30 feet can be deadly on negative walleye suspending off structure.
For the shallows I use the floats with the brass inserts and a big plastic bead below then a real heavy split shot. Louisiana ocean flats guys have perfected this technique for shallow Redfish. Cast float out with bait of choice , let it sit for 30 seconds, if a fish is nearby the splash will have alerted it, no bite, then reel an snap rod hard enough to slam split shot and bead into brass, it gives a real audible hard clicking noise.
Move the float 6-10 feet then let it sit for 30 seconds again.
Repeat to boat and cast to new spot, , 9 times out of 10 float goes down within seconds of it coming to rest, after cast noise, or clicking clunking of sinkers beads and brass insert in float.
Deadly with bass,
