A really sensitive float will cure that. I was reading a shellcracker article in the latest GON (Georgia Outdoor News.) The guide they interviewed used a float and complained about how shellcrackers were always swallowing the hook. This guide was using some of the worst floats I've ever seen. No wonder the fish were swallowing the hook!
Fish swallow the hook when you don't see the bite, and most floats are just not good bite indicators. Fish a light waggler with enough split shot so that just a pimple is showing above the surface. You won't miss bites with that!
