Float fishing is a fun, visually exciting way to fish. Float fishing uses a floating indicator attached to your bait line that gives you a clear indication when a fish has taken the bait. When this happens, your float will be pulled under the water or along the water in the path of the baited fish. Choosing the right float depends on the type of fishing you are doing, whether it be deep and shallow lakes to fast or slow moving rivers.
