Frequently Asked Questions about River Floats
What are the key differences between stick floats and Avon floats?
Stick floats are slender and designed for fishing in faster currents, offering good control and sensitivity. Avon floats are more robust and ideal for slower flows and Deeper water, providing excellent stability.
How do I choose the right size float for the river conditions?
The correct float size depends on the depth and flow of the river. A larger float is needed for Deeper water and stronger currents to keep your bait at the desired depth. For shallower, slower water, a smaller, more sensitive float is preferable. Consider the weight of your hookbait and any additional shot needed to balance the float correctly.
