23 Bubble floats ■■Bubble floats are designed as running floats, which is to say the line can pass through the float without resistance. The most successful and popular bubble floats feature a central tube through which the line is threaded. ■■Before threading the bubble float on to the line, the central tube is displaced, enabling the angler to partially fill the float with water. This makes it heavier and easy to cast out. ■■The bubble float is rigged in tandem with a much smaller float – usually a small piece of foam fixed securely on to the line – and from which the baited hook is suspended. This smaller float also acts as a stopper to prevent the bubble float sliding down to the hook as the angler casts out. ■■When the bubble float rig has been cast out, both floats – the bubble float and the smaller float from which the bait is suspended – lay side by side on the surface. ■■When a fish takes the bait and pulls the smaller float down, the line runs freely though the heavier bubble float, which offers no resistance as the fish takes line. ■■The most effective bait with a bubble float seems to be Dragon Fly larvae (Mudeyes) which are usually suspended about a metre below the smaller float. NSW Recreational Freshwater Fishing Guide Knots and rigs Useful rigs 1. The addition of a large split shot a short distance above the hook allows baits like worms and small Yabbies to be suspended alongside sunken timber and steep banks for native fish like Golden Perch and several others. 2. Standard running sinker rigs are used for suspending baits amongst timber and for bottom fishing from the banks of lakes and streams.
Fixed sinker rigs A simple bottom fishing rig is the basic fixed Paternoster rig. It consists of a sinker tied or looped on to the very end of the line with one or more hooks attached above the sinker at various intervals using twisted dropper loops so they stand away from the main line and don’t tangle. The use of a dropper loop to attach hooks is an easy rig to prepare and strong enough for most fishing situations. Using a swivel or ring as a tie off point results in the strongest possible rig of this type and is preferred by many fishers. 24 Knots and rigs NSW Recreational Freshwater Fishing Guide
