On the subject of mainlines and hooklengths, the way to go is to have a hooklink of a lighter b.s. than the mainline. That way if you get a snag the hooklink should break before the mainline.

 

I would recommend Drennan Float Fish as a good Mainline.

When I'm float fishing a stillwater I like to have the line between rod-tip and float beneath the surface. Do this by casting beyond where you are feeding, then with the tip in the water, make a couple of quick sharp turns of the reel handle. This will bring your float over your feed and the line between tip and float will stay nice and tight(ish).

The first one I'd try is to move the bottom shot closer to the hook.

 

fishing on the bottom I use a distance of 8" as a starting point

LOL Steve, I was still typing mine when you posted. Only an inch between us :D:D:D
