Used
on all Midland Canals, which are quite shallow.
4x10 - 4x16, used down the shelf's for bagging.
4x14 is the most common I use, which I either hold back or lift up and down to induce baits.
The smallest float (3x7) I use solely for fishing across in shallow water, from 6 inches (150mm) up to 24 inches (600mm) shotted with 4 of prestons tiny No.13 shot, which are spread equally from float to hook.
