The big daddy of trotting floats. Capable of coping with all depths in wild, turbulent rivers such as those in Scotland the Welsh borders. By their very nature these no-nonsense floats are extremely buoyant and carry plenty of shot. This is important as it helps to slow the bait down, giving the fish a chance to grasp it before it's washed away. Another advantage of these heavyweight floats is that they allow you to fish further out and still be in control, whereas any other float would not hold its line and be pulled out of position.
