Whats the best way of casting to the marker float, and casting back to same spot if you get a take or need to reel in.

practice practice and the other one

I normally cast to where I want it and then tie a small piece of power gum on the line just after the rod tip so each time I cast if the power gum's just after the tip, you know you're hitting the spot each time.

Cast out a lead to your Marker float, without your hooklink.

 

Make sure you stand in the same place each cast. I usually have my right foot touching my front bank-stick.

 

If you drop a couple of yards short on your cast, step back a couple of yards and then clip-up. Wind in.

 

Cast out again to your Marker Float to check that your distance is correct using your line clipped-up in your line clip. If not, then adjust accordingly, clipping-up each time, before winding in.

 

When you have cast out and are happy with the distance, clip-up and apply a marker to your line. Personally I loop a bait-band through itself and pull tight. I usually have the line marker level with the join in my rods. Then wind in.

 

Before you wind in your Marker Rod, pick a land mark directly in line with your Marker Float on the far margin, say a tree, bush or a pylon, etc.

 

Wind in your Marker Float.

 

Put on your hooklink and bait. Then cast out to your marker on the far margin, say a tree, using the line clip to stop your lead and hooklink/bait.

 

Important: Remove your line from the line clip.

 

Continue to fish normally.

 

If you have to reel in, simply clip up before reelng in.

 

If you catch a fish or get a run, then wind in, cast over the top of your baited area and then wind in until your line marker (bait-band) is level with the join in your rods. Clip up and wind in. Re-bait and cast back out using the line clip and marker on the far margin.

 

Hope that helps.

 

Personally I don't use a Marker rod/float anymore. Here's how I do it......
