Load-bearing, spit-stick swimmers
Hook and line floats are a type of float usually used for trolling or feeder rods. These floats allow anglers to target fish by attaching a hookbait or bait to their rod and holding it near the surface of the water. Hook and line floats can help anglers place bait precisely and efficiently where they want it. Spike stick floats are attached to the end of the rod or spike and are usually used for finer rods with a soft, flexible spike. These floats are usually used to target smaller fish near the surface of the water or at various depths in the water column. A wide range of match and waggler floats from manufacturers such as EnergoTeam, Garbolino and Preston are available on the TackleBait website.
The use of both types of floats depends on the fishing situation and the fish you are targeting. Hook and line floats generally keep the bait or bait close to the surface of the water, while spike stick floats allow for finer and more precise targeting of fish. The choice depends on the fishing situation and the needs of the fish being targeted.
