Haven't tried this yet but I've read a brilliant article on it in a pile of Pikelines Pete Waller gave me last weekend.
It converts your average, bog-standard pencil float into a polaris-style float, which will lock when you tighten the line, meaning you'll always be fishing more or less just right.
Sounds an ace idea. Being the sceptical sort I've got a couple of questions.
- Don't you have to use a lot more lead to make sure it pulls through ok and the float settles properly..?
- Can the float jam in the tip ring and cause problems netting fish..?
- Can the line cut on the edges of the tubing under load or does the tubing just bend when it's subjected to a sustained pull..?
