The float comes pre-weighted with an internal weighting system as well as a keeper tube through the side of the float. This tube allows you to thread your line through the float and keep it safe from flying off into the water if your surgical tubing breaks! Below is the breakdown of our preferred methods of fishing it. 2 weights, you can fish beads or bait perfectly. (Use split shots down the line.) 2 weights you can fish 1/32 and 1/16th oz jigs perfectly 1 weight, you can fish an 1/8 oz jig or plastic worm perfectly No weights you can fish a 1/4 oz jig or plastic worm perfectly The fun part about this float is playing around with different weight and lure combinations until you get what you like. Sometimes you want the float more buoyant using it in faster or more turbid water, in this scenario use less weight. If you want it more sensitive and sitting lower in the water, fish it with more weight. When fished without weights this float system will allow you to fish an 1/8th oz jig in just about any type of water. The weights included are the key to matching your water conditions. Is it super windy or you need increased float sensitivity just add weights to the float. This will help your casting ability as well as detecting bites other floats won't register. The Mustad Addicted Float will be the last fixed float you'll ever need!
