Can tell us how to keep power bait soft? That would really help, cuz we dont always use power bait all the time.

Hey Jordan. My name is Preston. I'm 64 years old and developed a rare form of arthritis that has made fishing very hard for me. I used to have a 18 in and out boat set up with a fish finder, trolling motor and down riggers, so finding fish was easy. I got discouraged with the pain of getting in and out of the boat and getting stiff from sitting in the boat for hours. I unfortunately sold my boat and gave up the sport. For years I sat in my recliner and kind of gave up on the outdoors. I have found myself depressed and discouraged. Watching your totorials and a couple others on KZbin got me fired up again. 2 months ago I dug out my gear and have been bank fish. I'm finding it hard because I can't move from place to place. I use crouches and moving all my gear to find a different hole is just to hard. I find a good looking hole whether it lake or river and fish it all day. I'm having a difficult time getting into fish. Do you have any suggestions for me. I'm on social security disability so money is difficult and motorized mobility isn't an option for me. I love just getting outdoors again, but catching some fish would be a nice bonus. Any help and suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. I want to thank you and all your coworkers for the inspiration you've given me to get out of my chair and get outdoors. Blessings to all of you for your work and bringing videos to help fisherman all over. GREAT WORK GUYS! Looking forward to hearing from you. Preston

[@prestonward7533]

@david , Thanks David. It's just fun being out in nature again. A fish is only a bonus on top of all the wonderful things being outdoors brings. The fresh air, interesting sights, wildlife. It's a great! A loose line is great, a tight line would just be greater. Thanks David. Preston

[@RubberTag]

God bless you Preston, I hope you are doing good!

[@Mickyj-t1g]

Right on Preston 🤙

[@beardawgstudios]

Was trying to figure it out on my own and I couldn’t get it. Thank you so much for this video. Very helpful.

[@IMKINDOFABIGDEAL13]

I have bought Newberg Bi-Mart out of these floats twice this month. Just finally tried them, awesome for the shallow coastal rivers.

[@ricksmith8866]

Fellas, thanks for all your inspirational videos

[@freedomadventures5930]

Just made my first fixed float setup and can’t wait to use it

[@massimoiacobucci752]

The Mustad Addicted floats are finally out! Ordered 2 and exited to try them out in Lake Ontario once they get in Canada!

[@kevinwest4488]

OKUMA has quite a selection... that X SERIES.. IS SPENDY but well made.. may make me purchase one.. I HAVE NOT SEEN THIS FLOAT SYSTEM BY ADDICTED/MUSTAD in my local shops.. your explanation of removing weights from the float, while using 1/8 oz. jigs had helped me.. thank you.

[@brunosmyrek]

Fishing is interesting and inspiring.

[@absolutee-fish-n-sea6805]

Got my floats today 🎉🎊👏🏻🤘🏻🎣

[@nloutdoors9287]

These floats look soooo good

[@bradjunes1610]

I was at Costco today and bought the "Addicted winter chrome kit" / Mustad. Haven't fished steel head since the 60's. The kit has a lot of strange hooks and bobbers you shown on this video. Thanks for all the tips and getting me out of my chair. Very much looking forward to starting fishing 1st of year. Thanks (Oregon's rivers are the best)

[@austinhergert6075]

Definetly wanna try those floats

[@mrolivares316]

Just ordered my floats pink n chartreuse with worms too can’t wait to try my new set up

[@temo801m]

[@darrellfolk5284]

Love your videos Bro!!! Keep your line Tight!!!

[@biggrantlewis]

Yep! I’m done with the bobber knots (garbage) Fixed floats👍🏻

[@wilsonflanders878]

Thank you greatly keep the videos coming

[@jlj209]

I haven't been able to find these floats anywhere. I live in Sacramento and not at Fisherman's warehouse, Sportsman's warehouse, or anywhere, but your web site now shows them in stock so I ordered a couple. cant wait to get them.

[@247DrainAndSewer]

Great video. I just got mine I can’t wait to use em this week. Jordan you make the best videos

[@robertstreams4362]

Works great for trout...Gonna try it to float a wacky worm rig over weeds for Bass

[@aurawright2130]

Love your videos...thank you!!! I am learning so much!

[@thundaciousD]

Just got my floats. Gonna go catch me some blue back tomorrow ;)

[@subilly04]

Killer video boys

[@briceautry9120]

Any tips for fishing deeper holes with a float? I feel I'll miss the middle of the hole, 15-20 ft deep, where I hook the most fish drift fishing. Is the answer drift the deep stuff and bobber the tail out section? Thanks!

[@jasonbrown78]

Can you do a video about the FG knot and compare it to the knots you guys use?

[@andrewmakl7825]

Is a 9ft or 9’9 work best for a best all around salmon/steelhead drift/float/spinner setup? Also 6-12 or 8-17 like the okuma guide select pro?

[@adamnoga-styron7882]

would you be able to fish eggs on a circle hook too with this setup?

[@markoberlatz1248]

Getting availability for apartments in the Tacoma area. Can not wait to move and be near steelhead water again.

[@31pkelly]

awesome video thanks guys

[@SunSh1ne0013]

Thanks you so much for the information! I love all of your videos! Do you have any videos on what fishing line to use when. Lbs, braided color with mono for trout? Bass?.. and why you use what you use? Thanks!!

[@CharlyRomeo-vb6el]

You can also use the crappie magnet the same way

[@illinoisangling1677]

Damn, look at those biceps in the thumbnail 💪🏻 must be from landing those big steelhead

[@randyeggleston7138]

Those floats look great but i just use the twist floats, you fish them at any depth, they are simple to use and you can add or subtract water for weight.

[@garytyler4382]

Stupid question. I am on the East Coast. Will this setup work on Great Lakes tributaries ? Thanks

[@mikec6794]

great video,i was wondering where can i get the container to store the float,Than!

[@blackmetalbushcraft3476]

Any centerpin tips for river/creek fishing?

[@BL-dl7dg]

Very helpful you guys should go to Australia and fish for GT

[@AddictedFishing]

Brandon Larson Yes please!!

[@codycantrell2780]

Ive bass fished baitcasters for a long time, would a baitcaster or spinning reel be best for steelhead float fishing?

[@UplanderExperience1998]

Hey Jordan! Huge fan! Is one able to use those mustad floats with a centerpin setup? When I steelhead and fish for inland trout centerpin fishing is what I primarily do.

[@communityevolution8230]

If I'm not using braided line, what's the best solution? Swivel from main line to leader and attach the float to the leader?

[@danielpedraza9328]

I need help! I use a thill slip bobber but I've had issues lately with the line not running thru the top of the bobber once it hits the water even with a small weight to pull down the bait. I use 17 pound test line. Is it because the top of the bobber not open enough?

[@tristenbarnes1866]

Could these work with floating beads ? Or would you prefer a different bobber?

[@ryangerhart8961]

I add weights below the bobber in addition to Brass Loops on Balsa for Beads and it floats like a charm

[@heathbradley426]

You guy definitely entertain me while I get inspired through education ! Keep up the great work and stay healthy so you can keep them vids coming !!

[@genedavis759]

I question the value of weight on my bobber giving a less accurate read of the orientation of the rig underneath eg dragging behind bobber position .

[@adamisaiahhansen2746]

what is the length and weight of the addicted floats? Do you add weights to a fixed float setup?

[@tonyb3405]

Love the vids! a little different tactics than Southern Ontario but Ill be trying to bring some of these tactics here for trout opener in April. Turkey and trout opener on the same day...Life is Good. It will be my first year running a bait caster float fishing. Can I find your floats in canada anywhere?

[@justinchan2453]

Does anyone have recommendations for how to save your float if you happen to snag up with this setup? I usually break off at the double uni.

[@nathanleigh4306]

I just bought one of these so I’m not an authority, but I’m thinking you could just drop down a size or two flourocarbon for the last couple feet of your leader system, as long as the float was above the knot joining that last section.

[@AJ_Ohio]

Great video..one question though, with a fluoro bumper if you get snagged, the line breaks at the knot and you lose the float..would it be a good idea to add a lighter leader to the bumper with a swivel?

[@joshuachristenson1521]

What I was wondering as well...

[@michaelambrose]

What’s the advantage of fishing a fixed float over sliding with a stopper?

[@Pnwfishin12]

I checked everywhere it is all sold out everyday I come their sold out I told them when will it be restocked they said in 1 week so I waited 1 week I went and boom a person got the last addicted float I was bummed out

[@allseeingbearbear617]

Hi dudes, greetings from Denmark. I think it's a dope vid and dope setup you got going there. It doesen't always have to be complicated to be effective. Fishing rivers this way is a very overlooked method of fishing here. I'd really like to purchase that float and maybe some jigs and wigglers. Havent been able to find the Addicted balsa fixed float system anywhere here unfortunately, neither any webshops which ships it to Denmark. If ya'll know of somethink or some good links, help me out boys. :)

[@daineball]

Edumacation :D yay!

[@dpatt000]

Do they come in 8g and 11g?

[@drewpiehl4775]

can you please link ur whole setup in the description?

[@sll4147]

Got a kit wit two float at Costco

[@nloutdoors9287]

Midwest trip come to my place and fish Michigan

[@justinclark3078]

That can what I'm waiting for. With KVD or a local guide.

[@tlpoutdoorsman]

So I'm curious when you put that 10 foot bumper 10 to 12 foot bumper does that not create drag and you're not going to be able to men that with the rest of your line?

[@AddictedFishing]

tlpoutdoorsman I typically run 4-5 feet. If I need 10-12 I’ll switch to sliding setup. - Marlin

[@tlpoutdoorsman]

@@AddictedFishing 👍

[@philipoakes2313]

Where did you buy that real

[@garyrobertson9534]

Do they steelhead worms work for salmon?

[@AddictedFishing]

Yes & we have micro worms on the website

[@protocl]

Jordan’s waders need Nikwax.

[@absolutee-fish-n-sea6805]

How about a mustad bag dump ? My bag weighs 25# do I have to much shit ?

[@shipwrek8976]

Absolute E-FISH-N-SEA never to much

[@painterpeter1]

I was wondering the same thing. But you never know what will work.

[@ericklagos2752]

What about fishing eggs?

[@masonkassis2224]

how is this any different than a slip bobber?

[@ML-ks2lj]

Be careful how fast you slide the bobber up and down in the line so you don't create heat and curl the line?

[@mrolivares316]

Just woke up 2am

My Dad took me trolling we caught streel head cancer took him

[@AddictedFishing]

roger funk Sorry for your loss.

[@Roger85able]

@@AddictedFishing thank you

[@Roger85able]

Once we want fishing caught small mouths

[@PNWMotorsports]

"The holes in case you hook a fish and dont loose your float" I would trade my float for a nice fish any day haha.

[@redline870]

Yeah most of us would, but now you don’t have to. You can hook a fish and not even give it a second thought!

[@Roger85able]

U sound and look like chumulee from pawn Stars

[@RogueoutdoorCrew]

awesome video 👍🏻 learned a lot that helped us in our fishing. check out our videos

[@tomwiggins1225]

I thought these were for trout

[@scottbrightman3662]

I sure would like to buy those fixed Balsam floats. But you're out of stock.

[@danboone5672]

Aren’t y’all in Washington? So much for social distancing I guess.
