Everyone Loves Fishing

Since the beginning of time people have fished, not all of them did it as a means of survival. Most people did it simple as a relaxation technique, and as a great family activity. No matter why you do it the thrill of the bite is what we all enjoy about fishing. The feeling of that tug on the line is incredible, putting the fish in the boat, awesome.

Though the joys & teachings of fishing have remained the same for centuries, the floats & bobbers haven’t. Modern technology & technique have made the journey from a round, whitewashed cork with an opening in it half some five decades ago, to the enormous variety of sophisticated fishing floats of today.

Floats or Bobbers

A float, or often termed a bobber, is an instrument used in angling, fishing with a fish hook, which serves two functions. Firstly, it dangles the bait at a preset depth, & secondly, it acts as a bite indicator.

There are long floats, circular floats, hardwood floats, red floats, hand-made floats, pole floats, sea floats, river floats, catfish & Styrofoam floats which are available in the consumer market in every size, shape, & color conceivable. The long, slender ones are especially sensitive & receptive & are employed for coarse fishing.

Many Fishing Floats To Choose From

There are various types of floats & each is used in different situations & conditions. A “waggler”, a slim plastic tube with the line threaded through a small opening at the bottom, is the most commonly used running line float on tranquil waters. Whereas, the “avon” float has an oval-shaped vacant area close to the tip; this allows it to be thrown further. The avon float is normally used in slow-flowing water.

Over the years some crafty anglers have come up with a float that give you control of its direction. You can navigate it left, right, forward, etc… This technique is used when fishing rapid waters, such as streams, and rivers. Since you have such precise control over the bobber it is best used when fishing in areas with vegetation or around docks and piers.

Next time you are preparing for that special day of fishing, forget about all the high-tech gadgets and load up the tackle box with a few old fashion fishing floats.
