Tie a sliding stop knot onto the mainline and attach the float a tag end.

Never had a problem with Preston waggler attachments. The slide sleeves are easy to move.

I don’t faff about with having hooklengths of all lengths or fixed floats i just simply use preston waggler attachments and they slide up and down the line easily and work very well.

Preston Waggler attachments for me too.

It takes seconds to alter the depth.

Im not sure if its Daves set up or someone else so I appologise if I give the wrong credit to the individual.
I have read somewhere about doubling up the last 24″ 0f main line and twisting it to get it to “wrap” together.
This then forms a strengthen length and I then loop to loop a hooklenght of about 12″ to this.
The waggler is attached and shotted either side on the double thereby not causing damage to the line.
In effect this gives you between 12″ and 36″ of depth changes.
A second rod could be used with a longer length if needed. Ive never bothered with a long length tending to fish another method and build the pellet swim before going over it.
Im going to try a waggler link type of attachment this year as It will be easier to move and should not cause any damage to the main line.

T.

All I use is the normal drennan float stops.

I buy the small ones so they’re tight on the line, one above the float as this doesn’t take a hammering and two below butted up to each other so they won’t move.

I’ve used this all day on loaded wagglers up to 14g and never had problems with it moving, if it did move I’d just add a third one there’s no way that would shift.

You can adjust the depth in seconds.

the cralusso waggler attatchments imo are better then the preston ones…

Works for me 🙂 – I’ve never had a huge problem with loaded floats diving too deep, I’m no expert but there doesn’t seem to be a huge amount of difference to me. I always try to feather the float on landing anyway.

I used the Steve Mayo loaded pellet waggler system all of last season, and to great effect,providing your float is the correct size in relation to the weighted adaptor there should not be any need for extra shot !!..I used float stops either side of the weight,to adjust the float depth, which takes seconds to achieve,my hook length is usually about 6 inches via a micro swivel to my main line, sorry but I can not justify having a second rod purely to have an alternative depth when my single rod set up can be adjusted so quickly !!…having said that the only senario might be if you are able to feed two swims that are 10 or 20 mts apart,something I have not tried but I suppose might be a concideration hmmmm.

I use the steve mayo adapters. When using them make sure you glue the tube, that holds the float onto the adapter, or you end up ledgering & wating to get your float back!!

Steve Ringer told me about this last year on this forum, aparantly Alan Scothorne had been experimenting with it. Like most things its dead simple if you think about it and just being creative with line, which seems to be how the best anglers over the years have thought.

Down South, on some heavily stocked venues, juvenile fish will come to the splash, hence the reason why you can fish as little as 6 inches deep. They do wise up though.

No idea sorry, I have never tried it, I am Just going on what Steve suggested. I suppose thinking about it, perhaps you still need the bulk of shot under the float? I want to give it a go but its still far to cold to even bother with.

Thank you. That will be very interesting. I dont suppose he will mind it being shared on an open forum?
