I think I caught well over forty fish but nothing of any size, it did take me back to being a kid again and this really who I designed this float for the kids that never grew up. Feeder floats are a very old idea but they tend be rather large in comparison, this is light enough not to small into the water but make plop and that top is visible from the moon which is great because my eyesight is not what it was. Rig wise I used some float stops to hold the float on the 4lb main line down to a tiny swivel and from there a 9" hook length of 2.5lb line to a size 18 hook. I was fishing in a bout three foot of water on the bottom so I really did not need any weights but if I had to go deeper I would add some split shot to the line .
