Polaris float

[Maddison_Twatter]

Ive just dug out an old polaris float I have never used.
I wouldnt mind giving it a try but I am unsure what situations/conditions permit the use of one.
Any views/experiences with this bit of kit are greatly apreciated
cheers

a super bit of kit,i like to use mine when swim feedering,
a very sensitive bite indicator

I recently got one but am finding it deadly hard to use!

When I cast it out with a feeder on, it just gets pulled under the water no matter how much line I give it, I have tried my line through both holes.

Gave it another go last night and learned that the 'up and over' lob cast seems to help it work a bit better, but then the river's flow seemed to be dragging it under and every 5 seconds I was having to give it line to come up out of the water. Quite annoying.

I think I'll keep it for calm lake work.

I found one great to use on a local lake, which was once abrick pit, deep water and they are great, make sure you are using enough weight.
