used to fish years ago - want to go back to float fishing - please advise on the system/setup piece that im missing here
hi all,
used to fish years ago (10-15+) and was/are a big fan of float fishing. thing is - completely forgot how to set up float fishing system and i am a bit embarrassed - looked into youtube guides and no one can clearly tell me whole system setup step by step neither names of pieces that i got to order.. english isnt my first language so this is getting even more confusing..
i got bottom fishing rod (some no name yet decent) and shimano spinning
i will try to convert these to float fishing rods;
disclaimer - i want this to work, dont want anything hardcore/fancy neither something very frugal and random DYI - please advise on system that would actually work and can be enjoyable for me and my dad
from my understanding - i will need to buy:
- nice and brand new line (old one been sitting in garage for years);
- hooks;
- weighs that i could add to the line;
- float;
now the part that i dont understand/forgot - what i am missing from the system? if i recall correctly - i would need extra line/some sort of harder line that is used to connect weighs/hooks and float, so fish wont just bite it easily
again, im embarrassed to ask this but could any kind person remind/explain what am i missing here?
one thing i recall was buying some tiny rubber "balls" or "stoppers" that would stop floater in the line and i could adjust the depth by moving them on lines up or down. maybe that is the only thing im missing + the actual stronger line that adjusts to then end of bait?
thank you,
