Slider floats

[Howard 13]

Thanks everyone, great advice as always. I did a search for a thread I posted last year but can't find it.

 

I've ordered a set of 9 Drennan wagglers to give me a bit of choice on the weights. Looking forward to a bit of 'real' fishing after fishing mainly the pole for the last few seasons.

 

After some big perch and bream this season.

when i fish the slider i use a windbeater, taking shot enough to bring the body of the float just under the surface, then another shot which allows the rest of the float to sink to the very tip (or even submerge) then adjust the depth so that just the very tip is showing.

 

by over casting, submerging my line and then loosing off line i can get my positioning spot on with no walk whilst having my line below the surface combating any tow or drift. I think this is the key to slider fishing, not neccesarily the shotting or type of float, but line control. crack the line control problems and you've basically cracked slider fishing.
