Float fishing from piers

[Norfolkboy]

I'm hoping to try and do some float fishing off the piers this summer for bass, macky etc..

When doing it, and you get a bite, does the float actually go down? As they seem so big, I couldn't imagine something pulling them down. Or does it just glide along the surface?

Any help appreciated

OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they go down all right! get a good mackeral bite and you'll lose sight of that float alright, and if you hook a bass, if it doesnt jump, you wont see it again until you get the fish to your feet!!!!!!!
the whole point of saltwater floating is that when a fish bites, the float goes down (unless like garfish they make it pop up flat) the floats might look big but they go under easily enough!

It's the best thing about float fishing; suddenly seeing your float shoot down

Thanks, I just wouldn't of thought a big sea float could be pulled under.

Now....anyone got any good float rigs?
