They definitely work in the right times. In the spring I use floats a lot for flatheads. Especially on hard river bends with a lot of log piles. You don't loose near as much tackle as you would a Carolina Rig. Some good info man.

I guess it may reflect on the weight of ur bait and hook. I added a sinker once on a windy day to see if I can slow it down a little more but it sunk. I was using an 8/0 hook with about a 3 inch peice of cut shad.
@reelcatfishing4479

I guess I should refraze that...it would depend on the weight of the hook u use and size of the bait. I use 8/0 hooks with cut shad and 3 to 4 inch live blue gill and when I added a sinker it was too much weight. How ever if u are using smaller hooks and bait then a small weight shouldn't sink it. As far as adding a Carolina rig to it i would say it's possible but would be hard to get the exact depth measure out for the sinker to be on the bottom and then the float still able to stay afloat and I say this because I don't throw less then a 3 ounce weight on my Carolina rigs because of casting distance with big line. I do think it would be cool for u to try it though and do a video on it! If u can get it to work then u could be onto something pal!!!
