What fish can you catch with a fixed float?
What is a fixed float used for?
A fixed float is locked to the line with rubber or a peg. Depth is the distance from float to hook.
How is a fixed float different from similar gear?
Not a sliding float and not a waggler-only pattern. Classic float fishing. Sliding covers deep water that a fixed float cannot.
When should you use a fixed float?
Use it when the swim is shallower than the rod and you want the float to cast as part of the shotting.
What problems does a fixed float solve?
It keeps a simple, tangle-light rig for canals, margins, and any water you can plumb with a fixed depth.
