A Beginners Guide to Rigging A Float For Trout

I love your videos keep up the great work

What size and type of main line do you use? Thanks for the how to video!! Love all your trout videos!

Can you use a weighted swivel and lose the one split shot?

Thank you for your teams helpful tips! I’m a beginner and now I know how to set up a line by my self.

How big of a split shot should you use

Honestly the floats aren't that good. The slot in it is much too wide and makes the float drift wrong and sink to far. I tried both with and without split shot. I switched back to trout magnet floats in the same trip and had no problems.

Is this tje setup you all use when you fish the smoky mountain streams?

What pound test is your main mono line? I love your videos by the way!

Great detail in this video. Thank you for taking the time to go into this detail of the float rig.

I use the exact same knot on all my rigs. Quick, easy, & effective. Can't wait to try this float & egg setup. I think I'll buy the gold label & pink shrimp first.

Thank you!
Your explanation of the whole thing helped me out!

A note on the float. If the stem is hollow you can set it up as a slip bobber. I do this for crappie fishing.

Lol... its a carp pole rig. 😂

Nice video

What would you say works best in winter? Eggs or paste?

I use those water filled floats to toss flies with spinning gear

Great video. Thank you

Where do you put the float? How low on the line?

I first learned this rig fishing for steelhead in Northern California more years ago than I like to think. I also use this rig for drifting bead head flys on the river.

Excellent detail in this presentation! Thank you for the high-quality content. - Tennessee Smoky

This is the best instruction video I’ve ever seen. Easy to understand and follow, very detailed, nothing missed. You’re very patient in explaining things and I will always remember them. I’ll share this with others. Much appreciated.
