Probably a simple question / answer but I'm struggling to find a definite answer.
My kids are just fishing in the canal at the moment.
How do I know what size float to buy? I've got some crystal wagglers that are 0.6g. Are these about right? What benefit or detriment would using a longer crystal waggler be? Some of them seem really long, and I think there is one shorter than we have. Would a shorter one be better?
Are any other types of floats suitable to try? I don't mind making up some different rigs to try. The original rigs came with some floats which were a thin rod with a bulge in it, held on to the line with a few rubber tubes. They just said "Carp 4 0.2g" and "Carp 5 0.25g". The kids have preferred the crystal wagglers as they stand up better, the others sometimes lay on their side and needed a little flick of the line to break the surface tension and stand up. I prefer the wagglers as they are easier for me to adjust.
