How to tie a float to the line in different cases?

In the process of assembling its first fishing rod, almost every angler is asked this question: "How to tie the float to the line?" A lot depends on the correct choice of its design, as well as the correct attachment to the rigging. There are two types of installation: deaf and sliding. The first is most rationally used in standing water, for example in lakes or bays where the current is either absent or so insignificant that it can be neglected. But when the surface of the reservoir is restless, it is better to use a sliding method.

Classification

Before you tie the float to the line, find out what their species are today. And there are a lot of them, and there are plenty to choose from. The most common modifications are:

1. "Penguin" or "Cheburashka". They are very similar. Even experienced Fishermen sometimes can not distinguish them from each other. In appearance, these are quite long floats, which gradually narrow to one of the ends. They perfectly combine stability and sensitivity. Most often they are used for significant fluctuations in the surface of the reservoir.
2. "Thumbelina" is an excellent solution for calm standing water. In this situation, the easiest way to determine the float is when the fish begins to peck.
3. "Calm" is long and thin. He has excellent sensitivity, good for fishing at a depth of 1.5 to 3 meters.
4. "Maestro" - is a truncated cone. It is characterized by increased resistance. Ideal for fishing at a depth of up to 1.5 meters. The downside is that it is immediately difficult to determine the biting.

The method of choosing a float

The choice of the float is made based on 2 factors - the surface of the water surface and the fish that it is planned to catch. For example, if you plan to catch carp on the float in Relatively troubled water, then the best way to do this is "Maestro". Carp is a big fish, and when biting its jerking will be perfectly visible. If the goal of fishing is carp or perch, then it is better to choose "Cheburashka" or "Penguin". They will be easier to notice the twitching of the float from such small fish.

Fixation on the line

How to attach a float to the line? With the sliding method, it is possible to move along the entire length of the line. In practice, this method of fastening is used in case there is a strong current or there is considerable fluctuation of the water surface. If a deaf attachment method is used, the movement of the float is limited to a small section of the line. This method is used during fishing in stagnant water or on a pond with a slight current. There are following ways of fastening:

• Due to the design of the float;
• Using special rings (rubber bands with a pin or insulation from a wire, for example);
• With the help of nodules from the line.

The easiest way to tie a float to a fishing line is to use a special float design. For this purpose, special ears or a hole are provided in the float. A fishing line is passed through them, and at the same time it is fixed on it. This method is used on industrial products. The second method is similar to the previous one, but it is used on self-made devices. These two methods are used for sliding fastening. The last one is that a float is placed in the line break and is fastened on both sides with knots. It can be used only with a blind fastening.

conclusions

Floats for fishing play no less important role than the rest of the gear. Many things depend on their correct choice and adjustment. All anglers should know this, without exception, and apply knowledge in practice to achieve a positive result.
