Hi Andrew, some great ideas there that will work for float fishing worm and prawns for salmon on the big rivers. I usually use a float of about 15g to get the distance, but the rigs often tangle, due to big weights I think! Many thanks for sharing this Brother!🐳🐳🏆🏆

[@AndrewsKnots]

Sounds great! Thanks for sharing.

[@jamesburton668]

I could be wrong but I guess it’s like fishing the slider on in matches. Firstly your right it’s the weights causing the tangle. You must remember to always feather the line before your rig lands to straighten everything out. You’ll know if you’ve a tangle because the float won’t sit right.👍

Great!

Great video as always, thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@stephencurtis7836]

Great video once again would you put that rig on a winder and do loop to loop when targeting big fish thankyou keep them coming please.

[@1254Paul]

Hi, in the video you say the braided line floats. In the link for the braided line (the new version ) in your video description it says the braid is fast sinking. Are there 2 versions of this braid available ???? Good video...Thanks.

[@AndrewsKnots]

It does as any braid made out of Dyneema but whatever works for you. Cheers

[@peterburn1587]

Hi Andrew great video , A lot of my water is only 1mtre deep, would you just set your olivette at 500mm and adjust the fluorocarbon to make up the rest.? Thanks Peter

[@AndrewsKnots]

Yes, exactly.

[@richardmillinson5111]

Great video Andrew, how bouts putting stop both sides of olivett so can vary where the olivette is on rig, so if needed can put olivette right under float and let bait fall naturally?? Would that work

[@AndrewsKnots]

Cheers. I wouldn't recommend it because of the tangles BUT whatever works for you. When I need slow bait fall through the water I would use loaded waggler..

[@leeh78]

Hi Andrew, are you fishing this just touching bottom or slightly dragging along the bottom? Thanks

[@AndrewsKnots]

I would say mixture of above but I always control top&bottom float rigs..

[@flybyphil1361]

What braid would u recommend for roach and dace trotting with say maggot ? this braid but a lower diameter and would it be ok on a close faced reel ? Cheers Andy

[@AndrewsKnots]

I would use 0.08-0.10 mm.

[@flybyphil1361]

@@AndrewsKnots cheers for that pal

[@tonybr2469]

Hi Andrew I hope you are well ,with this rig which I’m going to try this season on the river dove as I live in Staffordshire does it matter how fast the river is flowing with the 8g Olivett?

[@AndrewsKnots]

Float size choice should be according to the depth, current, sometimes wind, casting distance etc. etc. and olivette is a great way to have a big bulk of weight on the rig.

[@jayjohnson3589]

please advise what sleeve I should buy for top of float? size brand etc.

[@AndrewsKnots]

Depends on the float.. What I use, is in the video's description.

[@stew7711]

Hello Andrew, is the olivette to be positioned about halfway between the float and the hook? Great video.

[@AndrewsKnots]

No, like 60-80 cm.from the hook.

[@stew7711]

@@AndrewsKnots Thanks

[@rsylvester65]

I'm interested in that line for float fishing is there link for it?

[@AndrewsKnots]

In the description.

[@malcstevenson5921]

Enjoyed the vid Andrew and I have the Korum Speci floats in various sizes. My problem is I can't find the large top bands anywhere. Where did you get yours? Cheers.

[@AndrewsKnots]

Check description. Cheers
