Float Fishing Basics

Master the most versatile method in UK coarse fishing.

techniquecoarsefloat

Float fishing is the foundation of UK coarse angling.

Choosing a float

Wire stem floats for wind, wagglers for lakes, stick floats for rivers.

Shotting

Balance the float so only the tip shows. Use small shot spread below the float.

Striking

Strike on dip, lift, or sideways slide. Firm but smooth — don't jerk.
