If you've never used a slip bobber before - and I'm amazed at how many haven't - you should learn how to properly use 'em - slip bobbers are a wonderful 'tool' for EVERY fisherman!  These are a good quality ( not fancy, nor expensive, just good - but not cheap either) slip bobber - I've been using 'em for years.  Most of mine get lost to others borrowing them!  I use a slip bobber because I can suspend my bait over/in suspended crappie and 'gills, or just over submerged weed beds - no matter how deep. One of the great qualities of slip bobbers is that you can fish with your bait down as deep as you wish as when 'rigged up' right, the bobber stop ( I prefer the thread bobber stops, personally) winds right in and up onto the reel's spool as it lies flat - yes, right through the rod's guides and onto the spool - just pretend it isn't even there!  Then, when you cast out, it doesn't appreciably 'catch' on the outgoing line, off the spool, then through the guides and out.  The bait/lure/jig hits the water and starts to sink (I like a small  slider weight to give just a little more weight to get down past the smaller fish faster) and it keeps on sinking until the bobber stop bead at the top (above bobber) hits the small hole in the bobber - and stops it exactly where you've set it - no matter how deep!  These slip bobbers are very slender and it takes little resistance for it to go down when a fish 'hits'! 
     As mentioned above, I  prefer a slider weight at the bottom, as it gives slightly more weight so the bait sinks slightly faster - and keeps the eye of the hook from jambing up into the bottom of the slip bobber barrel.
     Each package of three slip bobbers gives you three slip bobbers, five small (bottom) slider weights, five top plastic bobber stop beads, five bobber stop threads (on a short piece of straw) and complete easy to follow instructions on how to 'string up' your bobber stops (for those that are new to using 'em). The reason that there are extra beads/weights and bobber stops included - well - I just know you'll 'fumble' some - or the wind'll lose them - they're small - and I seem to always manage to drop/lose 'em too!

EASY ON/OFF SLIP BOBBERS

(a relatively new concept/ tool - and very handy!) Note - users of extremely light line - 2 and 4 lb test - you must be very attentive when putting these on so this fine line doesn't go between special tube and the bobber shaft.

     These are best suited for 6 lb and higher mono line - unless you're a very careful person!  I use them with the smaller lb tests just fine - but a few others have mentioned it 'fowls' for them when using smaller line.  This is why I mention that they'll never replace the standard slip bobbers above!

     Finally, someone came up with a decent easy on/off slip bobber that works!  These allow us to quickly put on a slip bobber - without having to cut the line and string them up as with the 'conventional' slip bobbers.  Personally I still prefer the better quality regular slip bobbers (above) when I know I'm going to be using slip bobbers as the 'main' strategy of any 'given' fishing expedition.  But if you're like me - how often you'll be fishing and wish you were rigged up with a slip bobber for a special application.  As an example, maybe I'm cast retrieving along a weed line for largemouth - and I spot a large toothsome pike off a ways, and in casting distance - I can now quickly install the easy on/off slip bobber, put on a minnow and drop it right on his dinner plate.  You do need to have a bobber stop and bobber stop beads already on your line with whatever lure/hook set-up your using before this will work.  But I do most of the time, leave these relatively insignificant appliances on my line - just for this extra purpose - and it puts fish in 'my box' - often!
     The very small 1/2 dia easy on/off bobber is for those using extremely light gear!  The medium bobber is the one I use MOST of the time, and accommodates a number of small jigs and a tag of crawler.  The large easy on/off bobber is considerably larger and can be used for larger fish/applications - or where water's rough and you need the 'sight appeal' to see! I t will accommodate much larger weight and bait.
Instructions are included with each package! Also included in each package - 5 thread bobber stops, five chrome slider weights and five plastic bobber stop beads - everything you need!

The extra thread bobber stops and beads are so if you 'fumble' one - you're still good to go, you see!

EXTRA LARGE - SPECIAL PURPOSE - EASY ON/OFF SLIP BOBBERS

     These are the same as above - except they are a full 3 inch diameter!  Some fishers rig them up to use as 'marker' buoys of their 'points' they wish to troll to and work!  Yes, catfishermen like 'em for these very powerful fish - but I seem to sell more of them for special purpose bobbers for markers and holding/suspending 'stuff' as these take a lot of submerge them, there's also a lot of  'staying power' needed to keep them from slipping along the line.  So I include 3 thread bobber stops and 3 chrome slider weights and 3 plastic beads with each of these easy on/off special purpose bobbers! Instructions enclosed.

Package of 1 Special Purpose Easy on/off slip bobber
$ 3.75 US
