Side eyed floats

[tommos16]

Evening all. I've got some light fine stem side eyed floats on the way. My question is: how do I rig them?! Float stops I'd guess, then your weight underneath to rig it / dot it down?

Thanks in advance, Tom

If their pole floats
Thread the line through the eye and use a couple of silicon float bands on the steam the shot them to suit the float

Slider float
Use beads or float stops and shot to the float size

How to tie a stop knot ( if you haven’t tied one before?)

If pole floats as chrissy as said , through the eye, I use 3 pieces of silicone , one just under the body of the float ( but not touching body, due to possible damage if pulled onto rushes and also prevents line bedding into body) the 2and one half way down the stem, the 3rd one at bottom of stem of float but leave it overhanging by a couple of mm. This will prevent wrap overs.
You could if needed put one one float tip before threading through the float eye, this can give better hooking on the strike,
