good tips. I am curious about this boondoggin stuff. from the way you described it, I take it as the long leader, light weight, and small corky technique used for summer conditions. Are you saying they use it in the winter? And those bright lines. I always wondered why people used those high Vis lines, seems like they would spook the fish.

Dont get me wrong, I catch fish with the lead on the bottom. I just want to be able to increase my fish catch. And I have considered adding float fishing to my arsenal. I have fished with fellow board member Buzzerbaby, and he does quite well with the technique. I want to set up a rod with braided line/mucilin. In the past my line always sank and pulled the float along. Plus I enjoy fly tying and like tying jigs
