We are joined by the match fishing legend himself, Simon Willsmore. Simon takes us to the prolific stretch of the River Trent ar Burton Joyce, Nottingham.
He targets silvers using different types of flat floats and his own design of SiWi river pole float. In this video Simon describes the rig he uses and the technical aspects of each style of float. He also shows us the best way to mix a river ground bait plus other gems of info that every match angler must know.

Great video. I use, them on the tidal yare and bure. I find it better to use, flat float when you want to hold, back hard, say run through overdepth at half speed or less or hold, it static. Getting the overshotting is key. As you say changes with the flow. Bait dropper it good way for accuracy of feeding with them. Or a pole feeder method.

A very interesting video but the resolution of the film looked like it was filmed in the 1990s. It contrasted well with the GURU film (far better resolution) where big fish were targeted.

Ha ha….joker

[@handyfish4534]

excuse my ignorance please simon but why is it an advantage to use the straight flat float over a rnd bodied one of the same size?

[@suddenelite]

Great video thanks for that. I fancy a go with a flat float on the Trent. Where can I buy those floats? Cheers.
