Thanks for those nice words Alan, appreciated.
I watched the vid back and to be honest, I know could have done a lot better. I missed out things about the better floats for fast choppy water etc, "which is the wire stemmed", and how they don't flatten out (lay flat on the surface) so easily as a carbon stemmed float when holding them back in fast choppy water.

I'm a total novice at the vids as I think is quite visible, hopefully ill improve a little as time goes on.
I actually have many fishing videos already, but the clubs i'm in have a non publicity rule. Also i'll have to try to hide any locations anywhere I go as I don't want to spoil other anglers fishing as well as my own.
Maybe I should have named the channel "the covert angler" lol.

I think you’re doing alright especially as it’s something new to you buddy keep up the good work Ian

The video is fine Ian. The only comment I’d make is regarding float sensitivity or resistance felt to pull a float under. It’s actually a myth because the float has no bearing on how sensitive it is.
It’s all down to how you shot it. Or how much weight or pressure is left over before it sinks

You can set up a 10g bolo to disappear with the same amount of resistance as 4x no4 stick if both floats are dotted down to do so.

You get roach anglers going as light as possible on the floats to try and fool the shy bites and reduce resistance but if they were to think about it logically it would make sense that the resistance is only what is required to sink it to indicate a bite not what is used to set or cock it. In theory any float can be set up to be really sensitive

Yes, I agree Richard .
After saying that, I usually leave all the sight tip showing on the river, even on large floats like your ones. On flowing water there are other contributing factors which allow me to do that and still have very positive bite registration.
