I use these size 0-0-0 they are a little smaller than the ones you posted, and I think won't collect as much grass, because they are closed .Quote:

I will pair the reel up with the 18 Corto to fish the TM under a float. The reason I’m going in this direction is Center Hill Lake will be raised back to summer pool after more than a decade of being held at or around the 630 mark. It is going to come up to around 648-652 mark. The bluegill....shellcracker....beds will no longer be where you could cast and retrieve a jig. The growth one will have to fish in is a lot. I figure with the bigger gear in the new Luvias.....the 4# test line......and the Corto rod I can pull them out of there. We will see. I will be able to use a spool off one of my new Ballistic FW reels if I want to use the Luvias fishing at other lakes where I don’t have to use the 4# test line.

Stan I ordered the Owner 100mm Top Floats from Chris. https://www.tenkarabum.com/top-floats.html He was kind enough to test them out with a .5 gram jig head with a TM body for me. It has been years since I have dabbled in floats. Good ones aren’t cheap.....they weren’t cheap back then either. The Owner floats seem reasonably priced compared to other same style good brands of floats. I wanted to try some Acorn style but he is out...has some on the way though. The Top floats are supposed to be extremely sensitive when weighted properly.Quote:

But I would think....hope.....the 2-5 feet will get it done. Going to be a new experience for me. I have a lot of great bank fishing spots up there also but after they raise the water you will not be able to fish any of them.

I think if you use the Unitaka Braid with your float set up, you will be pleased with the strength and ability to get the fish moving. One thing I have found with the light and very small braid is that getting the weight set up correctly under the float to keep from having the float wrap around the terminal tackle either by getting ahead of it due to weight differential or wind drift. I have started using a sideways lob cast almost like a sidearm pitcher does the baseball to keep things in line, and to get some accuracy. Another thing new to me using the JDM equipment and the float rig is that the extra added weight of the float, your cast will sail out in a heartbeat, most of the time I will have to stop it using my hand to feather and close the bail. Hope you get to do a video, curious to see your technique.Quote:
