First of all, take a look at this thread:

I think it's best to start out with a fixed waggler. One AAA shot is equal to about 1/32 oz. Also,

1 SSG = 2 AAA = 4 BB

The Thill floats are usually rated by how many BB shot it takes to cock them. Look for a 9BB to 14BB Thill waggler.

Drennans are pretty much the same but often use AAA as a guide, so look for Drennan wagglers in the 2 AAA to 4 AAA range.

No, this shotting is ideal. You will see the lightest of bites.

No problem. I love to talk float fishing!
