Float Fishing

Welcome to the Float Fishing Tackle Shop

Float Fishing is a method of angling where a rig consisting of a float, line and hooked bait is cast and presented to the targeted fish. This method is often practised on rivers, canals and small to medium still waters. The floats used tend to be small and lightweight offering excellent bite detection, although when targeting larger species it is common to scale up the size of tackle used. To start Float Fishing for coarse fish the basic kit would consist of a rod, lightweight monofilament or braided line and light fixed spool reel. We would also recommend a pair of bank sticks with mounts to support the rod. These are used to hold the rod tip as close as possible to the water, minimising the wind effect on the line which can upset the baits presentation. Finally a selection of floats, hook length line, hooks and some bait will be enough to get started. Our float fishing tackle category has everything for beginners and seasoned anglers alike with float rods and reels from the biggest brands in coarse fishing. We also have a range of kits to take the trouble out of buying a new float fishing kit.
