Thread: Getting ready for the spring

When it's windy and rolling, I'll use a fixed float with my main line attached on the bottom of the float up to the depth that the rod is long. Keeps the bait in the strike zone longer by dragging the float level instead of bouncing the rod tips hard up and down.

The float size I use depends on the amount of weight I'm using. I want the float to have a near even buoyancy with the weight so the fish doesn't Feel the float when they hit, but the float still barely floats.
