Fishing......location,location,location......prese ntation,presentation,presentation.

The devil is in the details.Different floats for different presentations and locations. I am going to use about six different sizes and styles of floats for specific applications.Learn the nuances of different ones by reading and experimenting. I will give you two instances.

If you are on the water on a windy March day.And the crappie are on a shallow flat spread out,over a shallow submerged grass bed,or on the shallow break of a point. And you need to stay back to not spook them but yet need to reach them in that wind.And the fish want you to reel it real slow. You need a bobber that rides through the waves steady and does not add a lot of pull resistance to you or the fish. The answer...a small round fluorescent bobber with the built on lead on the bottom. It cast,rides steady,and you can put a really small head under it if you want cause the bobber is giving you density,profile,and weight to hurl that thing.

Another thing is learning to weight a bobber when still fishing for light biting fish. Here a waggler style weighted so its just barely buoyant will detect the slightest bite.If you put the change of color line just below the surface,if that line becomes visible you know its a lift bite.

Their is an art to bobber fishing just like all other types of fishing....if you want to learn it
