I BOUGHT 100 GLOW STICKS FROM HONG KONG FOR 13 BUCKS.. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO USE TAPE WHICH ENDS UP COVERING HALF OF THE GLOW STICK ANY WAY, GO TO WALLY WORLD AND BUY A FEW LUNKER LIGHTS.. THEY COME WITH A RUBBER GLOW STICK HOLDER THAT SLIDES OVER YOUR FLOAT.. IT HAS SPOTS FOR 3 INCH GLOW STICKS A 1.5 INCH GLOW STICKS.. THEY WORK GREAT... DOES ANYONE USE THE 10 INCH FLOATS ?

I have a few of these floats, but i like the zings better, i by the of of e-bay bye the dozen when i can find them i as well use the 12inch but like using the 10inch in smaller lakes. you can find alot of floats on e-bay if you just keep watching for them. and also by them by the dozen from a few paylakes that we have the hookup from..

my line floats all over the lake.is there something i am not doing or is it the line??? fish upwind?? i think it is the line. was thinking of getting some power pro line. is it ok to use Power Pro Spectra Braid in alll the paylakes??but butler Its probably your line. I know there are mixed opinions about Big Game here on the board, but thats what I use and it sinks nicely. Braided line floats and is almost useless when using a floater.

Just about all braided line floats. I would try Berkley Big Game out.

Big game is in my book the best line for big cats i use 20lb test of the solar green big game. Hard to find though, i got a huge spool off of e-bay for $38 plus S.H. of 78,000 yards. i think the S. green holds the best knot then the other big game colors but they all are great lines. Try putting you spool in a bucket of water then line your reels the line lays alot better and dont float as bad with it being new line.

on ebay i won 50 Lindy little Joe slip float bobber 10 inch only $.99 cents each and shipping was $14 for all 50. just what is the best way to rig then???I copy A.R rig.his floats are ez to see.He told me what each part was for and has been paylake fishing a long time.he is a pro i my book.. but that looks like a lot of junk on the line.cant you just use a float and a jig head,or put the wt on the end and the hook up the line on a 3 way?i like the 3 way my bait is always off the botton if my float is sitting right. JUST WHAT IS THE BEST WAY? do you need all that junk??the rig is well over 4 feet long. thats why we use long rods??

I'm going to take pictures and outline this on the .com (cincypaylakes.com/gear), but I haven't taken the time to do it yet. I plan on doing knots and rigs to go along with the gear. Being lazy stinks, eh?
