The deeper the water and stronger the wind, the heavier the float should be (3–5g) for stability. For shallow water in calm conditions, 0.5–1.5g is enough. The right weight holds the rig in the strike zone, preventing wind drift. Ensure the weight matches your rod's rating and the line on your reel spool.
Antenna color is chosen based on the water background and light: yellow is best against dark backgrounds, while red or black works best in bright sun. Good visibility helps spot subtle bites and reduces eye strain. At Fish-Master, you can buy floats with interchangeable antennas for any lighting conditions.
Balsa is a natural wood with high buoyancy, making the float extremely sensitive and delicate. Plastic models are more durable and affordable, resisting damage from hitting the reel spool lip or rocks. For competitive fishing and wary fish, balsa is the choice; for casual trips, practical plastic is best.
Correct weighting means only the antenna is visible above water while the body is submerged. This minimizes resistance during a bite. How you space the sinkers on the line from the spool affects the bait's fall. Precise balancing makes the rig highly informative.
A waggler is a heavy float with a single attachment point designed for long-distance casting (30–50m). It's ideal for lakes and reservoirs when targeting carp or bream. Its design allows the line to sink quickly, negating wind influence. You should buy this type of float for match fishing at long ranges.
