Floats Explained

Selecting a float first depends on your approach. First it might be your personal choice; the one you like to see in the water. For you it may depend on water conditions, target species, and your own fishing style. Here we are talking about day fishing.

Key types include wagglers for lakes/rivers, Avon for faster water, sliders for deep water.

Let's look for a style.

Anglers tend to see a decent float as a go to so that is what we will discus here.

Margin Fishing would ask for a waggler -a diamond a rugby ball or a light weight bodied waggler to hold the bait against the under tow.

Off the end of the rod calls for the same floats, here again, depending on your knowledge of the swim or target fish. A bodied waggler will catch a roach as well as the carp your encounter.

Following a Float Maker.

Like most float makers we at Hand Crafted Floats follow the traditon of basic designs then expand into variations that cover all other options.

Here at Hand Crafted Floats, we use our experience and, of course, that of others to make floats to cover the traditional options of Lake and River fishing as well as a few tasty ones we use ourselves.
