Sir Vedder,

"I think there are very few situations where drift fishing will out fish the float but one is when you are in a boat and drifting along. "

OK..I'll bite. Why?

Keep in mind I have -0- experience floating rivers, so it is perhaps out of lack-of-experience that I don't see the reasoning behind this.

Im my thinking, the float would hang less, and if your in a db drifting the bottom one would hang up much more frequently, no? The float wouldn't seem to have that issue...and doesn't it bounce along about the same speed as the drift rig?
