i use round cork floats myself. i always fish them fixed though and it makes casting much easier.

Different floats for different situations. I use dinks mostly but also use round cork thill and steelhead stalker sytle floats. They all have their time and place

Beau Mac floats! All the way to the cooler

They are the best! Sive depends on what the water conditions are. Most times for me 1/2-1oz

jab89, do you have that backwards? Wouldn't they sink? My favorite isn't made anymore, but the beau mac's look pretty good, the steelhead stalkers, and the thills too, depends on the water clarity, and how rippled it is....

I hate to admit it but use a Beau Mac float with my fly and switch rod when nymphing and using egg patterns

shhhh!

I've been really happy with the Drennan Floats. Check out this review. Steelhead Stalkers does a great review and what size to use. http://www.steelheadstalkers.com/review_drennan.htm

great responses and links.I never thought about floats,but tried yesterday and love the way you can work them.I could fish more water without moving so much.I will switch to a spinning rod and some floating line though..the casting rod seemed I had to toss to hard to get were I wanted to be..

are you using a jig? if so i would get a longer spinning rod and run braid as your main line. i still cant get myself to try them but i know they do catch fish

What?! Houndhunter are you serious? It will open up a whole new world!!!

those drennens look awesome...

Button Nubbs · « **Reply #13 on:** February 06, 2011, 07:36:06 AM »

I was thinking the same thing

Drennans are expensive! Ive been using the new cleardrifts now. Awesome float!

L8NITE · « **Reply #15 on:** February 07, 2011, 08:27:02 AM »

Tried just about every float on the market but I really like the Drennans and they come in all different sizes. Work awesome in the gin clear waters.

I agree with the braided line commet. It opens up an entire new world with floats.

I don't run floats for steelhead but do with eggs or shrimp for kings. The braid will allow a good hook set alongway from you. Also a nice long rod. 10' or longer.
