Stillwater waggler fishing is very popular and the set-up shown above, with the bulk of the shot around the float is top of the list. Place a single dropper shot between 6 and 10 inches from the hook to assist bite detection. Do not hesitate to alter the location of this shot and the depth of the rig if bites are hard to hit. A good starting point is to fish the bait on or just off the bottom. Shortening to find the fish if necessary - bites are usually harder to hit the higher up in the water you are fishing. If you are receiving a lot of bites 'on the drop', as the bait is sinking to its natural position then distributing the shot along the line will sink the bait quicker, that is if you choose to bypass the fish in the upper levels of water. Distributing the shot is also useful if the water has a significant undertow. Use a float with a fine tip for sensitive bite detection if the weather conditions and tow will allow it. |
