Owner Acorn Floats.

**Alphahawk** · 03-23-2020, 09:18 PM

I decided to try out my* Owner Acorn floats at the Normandy Tailrace for trout....can't get to my bluegill waters just yet. Chris has tested these out with the 1 and 1.5 gram Daiwa Gekkabijin jig heads. Here is what he has to say about them "A 1g Gekkabijin jig head and soft plastic will sink the float to the line at the bottom of the yellow stripe on the float. The 1.5g Gekkabijin jig head and soft plastic will sink the float to the line at the top of the yellow stripe.
The fluorescent orange top makes them quite visible, so whether or not the yellow stripe is above the surface, the orange tp makes the float very easy to see in either still or moving water." His assessment is spot on. I put one on.....got the depth right for fishing the Trout Magnet as the current pulled it down stream. These things are great...you can tell immediately a trout has nosed the TM...set the hook and game on. I caught 19 trout and the best part is 10 of them were at the 13 inch mark. This was a ton of fun on the Banshee Super Ultra Light. I am hoping that the rain..wind really old off for this coming week so I can at least try to fish my old haunts....that's providing the state does not get locked down.*???Regards

Nice catch. Those floats look good, do they attach with a rubber sleeve or do they clip on?

Thanks....they attach with a rubber sleeve. Really chomping at the bit to find some bedding bluegill in the tees to use these things on.....very sensitive.

Did you twitch the float while riding the current? Will you twitch for the Gills? I find on a float, a lot of times the little rascals will wait until the bait is still, then strike.

Wow!! Those trout are some beautiful fish. Thanks for the tip and for sharing the pics with us.

For trout you just let it float down with the current. It has been a long time since I used a float for bluegill. But back then I would just let it sit. This was when Center Hill Lake was a bonanza for big bluegill. Hoping it becomes that way again in a few weeks.

You can make a couple pops with the float, and let it sit and repeat,or make one slow revolution with handle and stop and repeat.
