S1 – Match Float

The Fishing Things S1 is a slider match float for targeted fishing on deeper canals. With a sliding rig, the float can move along the line during casting, while the final fishing depth is limited by a line stop. This allows you to fish water layers that are difficult to reach with a fixed float rig.

The S1 is designed for serious match fishing where depth control and a tidy rig are important. Set the line stop to the measured water depth and distribute the shotting according to the current, bait behaviour and desired sink rate.

Frequently asked questions

When should I choose a slider float?

A slider is particularly useful when the water is too deep to comfortably cast the float in a fixed position through the rod guides. The float slides down to the shotting during casting and runs through the water to the set stop.

How do I set the correct fishing depth?

Place a suitable line stop on the main line and move it until the bait is presented at the desired depth. Plumb the swim carefully and check the setting again if the bottom or current changes.

What should I consider when shotting?

Adjust the distribution to the current and desired sink rate. A more compact shotting gets the bait down faster; more spread-out shot provides a more gradual presentation.
