Title: Thill Floats
Post by: leaping steely on September 23, 2004, 04:30:54 PM

hi I have some Thill Mini-Shy Bite Floats and some a bit bigger than that. What would these types of floats be good for? Most of the ones I have are quite small, so maybe squawfish and small trout? Any help is appreciate

I find that the Mini-shy bites    can't hold up much weight. Should I just  use small split shots? I tried them in some current so I guess they are mostly for lakes and still water?

I just tested them out in the sink. The mini-bites can't even hold up a split shot ??? :'( :'(  What types of weights can I use? They seem great for little fishies.

Nice pics.  Real delicate and shapely floats, eh?
