I posted a trick last spring that I came up with that allows a float to fish 2 depth levels. This is a good tech most anytime you are float fishing bait or jigs, or whatever. >>>

Use the natural round cork floats. First put on a wound thread bobber stop up the mainline for adjusting it for the deepest part of the float drift. Then follow with the orange peg that comes with the cork floats, following that with the appropriate size cork float to match your weight and bait combo. To set the float for the shallower upper end of a hole fold about a 1/4" piece of mainline into a small loop that you lightly jam into the cork hole with the peg (between the side of the peg and side of the hole - smooth any rough edges on the peg that could nick the line). Do this firm enough to hold while casting and floating your jig or bait, yet not too firm so that a quick short jerk on your rod tip will release the peg to go up the line to the bobber stop along with the cork float. You can fish the upper end of a hole at say 4' depth and give it a little yank as it approaches the deeper part of the hole and the bait drops down to say 8' deep. Any appropriate depth combos for particular holes are achievable this way (3' to 6', or 5' to 12', or whatever is right for a particular hole). This really increases the proper depth coverage of typical deepening holes, during a single drift thru. And often fish will be holding in the upper end faster water while others are milling in the deeper slower part of the hole. It works! I’m still trying to figure out a way for it to shallow up again for the tailouts, and the only thing I can think of so far is to let your jig or bait swing across, somewhat against the tailout current, and this will bring them up closer to the float at a shallower presentation.

Os, if you read more carefully, my cool idea is so that you can float fish 2 depths on a single drift thru with 1 bobber ! rolleyes Eh? Still don't get it? OK, I will bring some crayons and draw a pic for you. Just don't tell Roger; next thing ya know it will have been your 2 guy's idea. :p Just kidding around. wink

I must admit, that picture in her website was in very poor taste,
I never visit that website, I went to it because of Aunty`s rage, (That`s what I felt after seeing that tasteless pic.)
I really feel sorry for [Bleeeeep!]`s daughter,
It would suck having her for a.....mom?
For lack of a better term..
