I will ask a question. I was out spider rigging last week and passed another boat that had 8 rods out and each rod had a float on it. We were in 10' - 12' of water. Anyone one on here use floats? How much line do you put out from the rod tip? Seems like the rod would always be pulling the float to the side or pulling the line up if you are using slip bobbers? So why use floats? I assume to make it easier to see the bites? I imagine it would have to be good size bobbers with a 1/2oz weight. Can someone explain their setup. I may want to give it a try.
