The 8’3″ ML tip, fast action from Limit Creek is an awesome choice. Soft tip with a good backbone and a telescoping rod makings hauling around an 8+ft rod a lot easier.

I have a 7′ triumph ml but haven’t used it bobbering yet. Its plenty soft just not sure how much leverage you would have setting the hook in deeper water.

Beet me to it. This is absolutely my go to rod for what you want to do with it. You’ll love it. Works great for rigging as well.
How much are you looking to spend? Are you only going to use it for bobber fishing?
I personally use a 7’6″ ML Fast action rod for slip bobber fishing. Straight cork for me because sometimes it goes in a rod holder.
The longer rod enables me to sweep more line then I could with say a 6’6″.
x3 for Limit Creek.

$1,000,000.00
Mostly for slip bobber Mille Lacs from 7pm to 9:59pm this year or other walleye lakes. 
Under $100 sorry

X4!
I absolutely LOVE these rods for slip bobbering Walleyes! Pete highlighted the features of this rod already and he is spot on. Also makes a fantastic dragging rod if you ever venture down to the river and decide to drag plastics.
For the way I bobber fish, I can not honestly say I have seen a need for a rod longer than 6’6. I’m not casting far though.
So, I use a fenwick eagle gt 6’6M Mod.

Time to up grade from my 6’crappie rod for fishing Walleyes. Was thinking about a triumph 7′ ML. I want a longer rod with a soft tip to haul em in. What do you other walleye guys use? I hear any thing from 6’6″ to 10′.
I have a 7′ ml triumph and premier that I use as bobber rods and they work great. I can use them for a lot of other techniques as well which is nice.

I would say pricewise if you wanna stay under 100 check out some cabelas type rod or cheaper rods. It is a bobber rod so feel doesnt have to be great. I would also suggest perhaps a medium weigth with a slower taper and action. It is dark out you have an idea of how much slack you have out but at the same time an 8’6 rod gives you so much forgiveness with wind and play in the line, allowing for better hooksets. – QB
I know this is a little more than you are looking to spend, but the action and length of my set up might help. I have a ST. Croix Legend Tournament Drift and Float 8ft MEDLIGHt, and a CI4 2500 with Powerpro Superslick. The braid makes it really nice on long hooksets, paired with that lighter tip.

How are you managing that? I’ve tried to slip bobber with braid twice and both times I swore I would never do it again. Every 3rd cast was a fouled up rig.

I have not had a problem at all with it. 1/4 or 1/8 oz Jig and slip bobber set up. Superslick in 10lb test seems to slide through the rig quickly and haven’t had any foul ups
Oh, I don’t use jig heads on slip bobbers. I use split shots and ocotpus hooks. The hook almost always catches the top of the bobber on a cast with braid. I’m sure a jig head would greatly reduce this, but I have never had nearly as much luck with jig heads.
