Have you ever wished that someone made a strong little float for fishing “up the rat holes” on the commercial Snake Lakes but which would double up as a float for fishing smaller baits up in the water ? Well let me introduce you to the Hillbilly Ratcatcher 2. I would back this float against anything else on the market for these tasks as I spent a lot of time coming up with what I think is the perfect solution.
This float takes approx 4 x no11 stotz and is around 73 mm in length. The 1mm glass stem passes right through the Tech1 foam body to support the 1.7mm diameter x 16mm long hollow Hi Viz tip.
A choice of two types of stainless steel spring eye fitted to the base of the tip completes this super tough little float which is available with a choice of red, yellow, green or black tips.
HB Top Tip
Excellent for “bottom” fishing in shallow far or near bank swims but equally at home fishing smaller baits up in the water. Constant lifting and dropping of the bait will usually attract more bites than just leaving the rig still and waiting for a take. Best fished with a shot right beneath the stem to aid rapid cocking and a couple of dropper shot.

The HB Redneck is my first choice of paste float for general paste fishing. Similar to its cousin the HB Shindig but much stronger it is built on a long 1mm diameter flexible glass stem which passes right through the very strong Tech3 foam oval shaped body and supports the first 20mm of the 1.7 mm diameter x 50mm long hollow Hi Viz tip. The float is fitted with a choice of two types of stainless steel spring eye securely glued to the base of the antennae making the HB Redneck a very strong animal indeed and can also be supplied without an eye for those that prefer to use an extra float rubber instead. Having a tip length of around 50mm makes this model very suitable for the paste fishing it was designed for but it also works very well for larger baits such as corn or meat when there is a need to bury the line beneath the surface. It is best fished with a spread bulk for paste or a spread bulk and droppers for corn etc. HB Top Tip People often shy away from fishing paste if there is a strong undertow in their swim. However if you position just enough shot a couple of inches from the hook to hold the unbaited rig still and then adjust the remaining shot so that when the undertow takes full effect there is half the tip showing you will stop the water movement pulling the hook out of the paste. Bites will be big lifts of the float or savage dips sometimes pulling the elastic out of the pole before you can strike.
