page6inventing the Towfloat
1. Just toss the floater and bait into the current. Often there will be a "backward" eddy close to shore, make sure you cast the floater past that eddy and into the main current.
2. Allow the rig to pull out into the stream as far as desired. If it accidentaly reverses and starts back toward you, just flick the rod tip and it will reverse and start out into the midstream.3. Be prepared to reverse the TowFloat if you see watercraft approaching as they usually won't see your line. Just flip your rod and it will reverse and come back to the side you are fishing from. After the boat has passed flip the rod again and the floater will pull back out into the stream.
4. Keep the bait small if you want to fish relatively straight out, as the more bait-drag you have, the further downstream your floater will run. Put lots of line on your reel if you are using a plug with a lot of drag since the floater will be way downstream when it gets out in midstream. In other words, the smaller your bait is, the more straight out you can fish.
5. Use line as light as possible to keep water-drag to a minimum for maximum performance of floater.
6. Often one can fish from an elevated position on a wall, bridge, or bank, this will allow the line to arc through the air versus dragging through the water resulting in the floater running further out into the lake or river without going downstream so far as to be invisible..
