Float

[donutcrooks]

G'day everyone,

I am wondering what float this guy was using. I am pretty new to fishing having only caught my first fish on Monday. He was using a really long rod at Williamstown - The Warmies and had a float that was like a long pencil thing. I was wondering if it would be better than my little red bobber and how it works?

Any and all advice is welcome and definitely appreciated! Thanks in advance!

You are almost there.... google pencil float.

I myself do not use floats in enough of my fishing to be able to tell you any more than that!

Hey donut,
I use them mainly to catch gars, but have also caught mullets and salmons using a pencil float

I new it sounded familiar and when I saw it came up with the exact same of what I typed I just died a little.

That's awesome! How do they work and how do you rig them?

Also would love to see photos!

With my rigs I use a float stopper, small ball sinker, 3 way swivel and some Fluro leader
I'll see if I can find a pic for you.

I get the float stopper with the small ball sinker but don't follow what the 3 way swivel and Fluro leader is

Hey Donut

Get yourself a copy of Geoff Wilsons Knots and rigs book you will learn all the basics from it especially for someone new to fishing.
Here is a link to the AFN store if you cant find it at a tackle shop. While your there have a look at the AFN fishing Basics book as well :thumbsup:

As cool as it looks, it is definitely out of reach for now because I have to save for a car and all my school stuff!
