Hi all,
My first post shouldn't be too difficult for someone with a bit of experience so here goes ..!
Having just started fishing I've done a bit of research and understand how and why you plumb the depth of the area you're fishing. Well sort of ..
The floats I've bought are marked 4+2BB which I understand to mean that the weight is 4 and to properly set the float I add 2BB weights, one either side of the float to lock it.
I've got a clip on plummet and if I set the float to shallow, it disappears when I cast the line, exactly what you would expect.
However when I set the float massively deep, like 6 feet too deep, the float just sets itself as if it were on depth, instead of having a lot of the top showing, which I s what I expected.
So my question is basically am I weighting up the float correctly and if so should I be weighting the float light so it won't set properly if I'm over depth or have I missed something about plumbing depths (not unlikely !!)
