I think that the object of fishing a float is to have the float move at the the same speed as the current it is in .I think that a long rod and a free moving reel aid in the float. I have found that the key to a drag free drift is to keep the line off the water.the gear that I have had the most luck with is a 11'6"rod with a centerpin reel
I also like to make my own balsa floats.
