How do I choose the right float?
The choice of float is largely dependent on the type of water you wish to fish, although other factors such as wind strength and casting distance also play a part. For example, when fishing a still water such as a lake or canal, a waggler would probably fit the bill. The trick is to choose a float that is large enough to get the bait where you need it and sensitive enough to show every strike (before the fish drops the bait). If your float pulls under too often in the current or won’t track straight, change to a larger or thicker float.Floats with a large body are called rugby ball-shaped. They are the model to go for if you’re after stability when the bait is fished on the deck and left for several minutes waiting for a bite. Try a 0.
Does swimming with a tow float slow you down?
The main thing to note is that, from experience, we know that small tow-floats really do not slow you down or get in the way – they float along behind you minding their own business and keeping you safe while you swim. A Tow Float/Dry Bag is not a buoyancy aid. As a tow float/dry bag is buoyant it can be a great support when you’re tired, get cramp or just want a breather. You can then simply hug it and float along while having a chat with other members of the group or attract attention if you require help.Buoyancy and Support Rest When Needed: Tow floats provide buoyancy, offering swimmers a safe place to rest if they become fatigued, experience cramps, or encounter unexpected conditions. This is especially important in open water, where there are no pool edges or lifeguards to rely on.Buoyancy and Support Rest When Needed: Tow floats provide buoyancy, offering swimmers a safe place to rest if they become fatigued, experience cramps, or encounter unexpected conditions.
