can anyone explain how exactly to rig a slip bobber? someone told me to try a slip bobber with my stops at 15 feet. what does that mean and how do you do it? thanks.

A slip bobber has the line running right through the center and not on the side of the boober.

When you rig your line you first put a light weight bead on the line that is slightly bigger that the hole in the top of the bobber shaft that your line goes through,then the bobber goes on the line after which you can put the hook on.

Now above the bead you wind a small piece of thread around the line and make a tight knot around but NOT in your line.If done right you can move this wire up and down your line,but it will be tight enough to stay in place if you don't pull it hard.This is your bobber stopper.I like to use dental floss because the wax really makes it go smoothly through the eyes of your rod.If you want the bait to be fifteen feet below the bobber you just slide the stopper fifteen feet along your line and reel the line along with the knot back on to your reel.The bobber and bead should slide freely along the line.

When you cast, the bobber is very close to the hook,but when the line is in the water,the bobber will allow the line to slide through its center until it is stopped by the stopper knot.

Here is an example:
