Floating Tips (Video Included)

Wade's World Fishing: Long and slender is better than round and fat when considering floats for panfish. The long and slender profile of this float makes it so much more sensitive.

The slightest pressure will pull it under the surface, if you have it balanced correctly with your sinker. When you've got a float that's round and flat, it takes a lot of pressure. For little fish, you want long and slender. Adjust your float up and down your line, try different depths, give it time, move it and jiggle it, but remember fishing with a float rig brings out the magic.
