With different methods and under different conditions of fishing, different methods of shipping the float are used. If you are fishing on the current, you want the bait to sink to the depth as quickly as possible. Then it is necessary to concentrate the main load closer to the support and in one place. Or if you want to cut off small fish that swim in the upper layers - this shipping option is also suitable.
Instructions
Step 1
If the water is stagnant or the current is slow, the main weight is distributed over the entire line. Then the nozzle will descend slowly, more naturally. This option is also used for catching cautious fish, which, as a rule, is a larger fish. The fish takes the bait and, feeling the resistance of the heavy sinker, throws the hook. You can use several additional weights, then, taking the bait, the fish will feel only a gradual increase in the load, and when the turn of the main load comes, its song will already be sung.
Step 2
The weight of the paddle depends on the fishing conditions, which can range from hundredths of a gram to several grams. But in any case, the weight of the paddle should ensure that the float can indicate a bite.
Step 3
The float is shipped to maximum sensitivity. The support is hung 5 cm from the hook, the main weight is 15-20 cm higher. If you are fishing at a long distance, choose a float with a hollow antenna, it will freely pass water in both directions.
Step 4
The float should be shipped so that with the nozzle and with all the weights, the minimum part of the antenna that your eye can see remains on the surface of the water. It happens in different ways, someone needs to see a third of the float above the water, and some need to see two-thirds.
Step 5
A correctly shipped float increases the number of bites, the main thing is to be careful not to overlook them. The correctness of the shipment can be checked as follows. Place the float in the water and lightly press on the antenna so that it is slightly submerged in the water. She should quickly, but not abruptly, take the starting position. If the float goes deep and slowly returns, then it is overloaded.
Step 6
Overloading is a common newbie mistake. This can lead to complications in the control of the rig, the transmission of false bites (if the fish just touched the nozzle, the overloaded float will sink further by inertia). If the float rises quickly and abruptly, it means that it is underloaded. This is undesirable for careful bites.
