Floats Down

With the huge range of shapes and sizes available, float selection can be a baffling topic. Luckily, there are a few easy steps to follow in choosing the correct float.

The ideal main line for float fishing should be relatively buoyant and offer good abrasion resistance. Since all fishing lines sink, it is best to choose ones that will sink relatively slowly.

The key to success when using river floats is to rig them "top and bottom". This allows the line to be held above or on the surface of the water, ensuring that the float can be properly controlled.
