The symbol of fishing can be rightly considered a float, because a float rod is the most affordable and popular in the world. This is the oldest and most proven method that most anglers trust. And this is not surprising: the float for fishing has a truly hypnotic property. You can look at him for hours without stopping, rejoicing at the slightest twitching.
It is considered that the float for fishing performs only two functions:
1. Holds at the exposed depth the attachment with a hook.
2. Shows the moment and intensity of the bite.
But in fact, his role is far from being limited. Successful catching of fish species such as bleak and cheba on the float depends largely on how accurately the appropriate tackle was selected.
Experienced fishermen know perfectly well that the correct delivery of the nozzle in both standing water and in a pronounced current largely depends on the design of the float. That is why manufacturers of gear for fishing supply them in a huge range and in different versions. Doing snap on the float fishing rod, it is necessary to remember that the float float is different. Even with the external similarity of the two models, attention must be paid, first of all, to the qualities of the float, such as the degree of strength of the structure, the type of paint and its waterproofness. It is for these items that the float for fishing of one manufacturer differs from the same device of another brand. And visually these models can be the same.
It remains an open question how, with such a variety of shapes and sizes, to choose the right float for fishing and which one is better for a particular pond. This problem often arises before beginners in fishing. One can say one thing: everything is known in comparison. Of course, there are recommendations for choice, but it is possible to understand exactly which float works better on the chosen reservoir, only by experimental means. There is only one general rule when choosing this seemingly unpretentious tackle: the stronger the current, the thicker the body of the float should be. In order for the rigging of the float rod to work effectively, it must be well controlled, despite poor fishing conditions, such as wind or bottom currents. This directly depends on the shape of the shell of the float.
When choosing a tackle, special attention should be given to the keel. Short allows you to quickly take in the water working position. Such floats are specially created for high-speed catching of small roach or stickers. The long keel, on the contrary, makes the float stable and is better suited for fishing at greater depths. It is much less subject to the action of waves and water currents arising from the operation of locks. It is much easier to fix at the selected point, and it is, not least, not diving into the water at idle sweeps. Ideally work gear with a large keel on slowly flowing rivers and deep lakes.
A winter float deserves special attention. It should be highly sensitive, as it often happens that the biting is very sluggish, and the bites are barely visible.
