Wagglers can be set up as fixed or slip floats. They're all I've been using for almost twenty years. If you're not catching, it might be a rigging problem.Quote:

They also cast easier, since they slide down next to the weight, presenting a more compact casting setup. They also present less stress/damage to the line, than a clip-on or spring type float.Quote:

I think my lack of catching problem is more related to not having time to go out and fish more than anything. So far I haven't been able to locate crappie in the river and one lake I've been fishing but I also haven't put in much time yet, and it's the middle of the summer, and I'm bank fishing :) Got the odds stacked against me right now.Quote:

If it's any consolation, I catch a lot of fish off the bank with a waggler. The waggler was created by people who fish off the bank. ;)Quote:
