Floats FAQs

Why use a float?

A float is used to suspend a bait at a particular level in the water and signal that a fish is taking the bait. A float can also add weight to increase casting distance. These factors are a great starting point for choosing a float, because they'll help you decide which float will best meet your needs, given the water conditions and the species you're pursuing.

What are the different types of floats?

Basically, there are two types of floats: fixed floats, which are connected to the line and stay in position, and slip floats, which slide up and down on the line. A fixed float is better suited for shallow water, while a slip float is perfect for deeper water.

How to choose the best fishing float

Regardless of whether you choose a slip or fixed float, the float's size and buoyancy are the most important factors. If your float is too large, the fish will encounter resistance when trying to take the bait, and it may drop the bait entirely.

The float's shape also affects resistance. Very slender floats will be pulled down more easily than wider floats, so they offer more sensitivity for a light bite. Also consider the weather and the water conditions: on windy days or if there is a strong current, you'll probably need a larger or more buoyant float. If the water is clear and calm, a smaller or narrower float will reduce the chances of spooking the fish.

When casting for distance is important, select a heavier slip float. Remember, the weight of the float is not always in proportion to its size, so you may need to experiment to get the best results.
