Thread: Favorite float/bobber for gills?

Not to change the subject but years ago my Uncle told me he was fishing with a friend. He's catching and friend was not. After a while he told him the only difference in rigs was the size of there corks. His friend changed to a smaller one and he to started catching.

That's not changing the subject.

Smaller floats are more sensitive. I fished a competition once (float fishing only.) The guy next to me was using a bobber the size of a tennis ball. I was using a tiny pole float with just the tip out of the water. My competitor saw one bite, but couldn't land the fish. I finished with almost forty pounds of fish in four hours.

I have seen this happen on many different occasions.

Remember in days gone by,bobbers were huge,now the conventional wisdom say,and rightly so,thin is in!
