Description
The Shady Shallow is named after a good friend who loves his shallow fishing and designed to withstand anything that fishing shallow for carp can throw at them. These little gems are a mere 7 centimetres long and built on a super strong 1.5mm stem which also adds weight to the base of the float to reduce tangles. The stem passes through the Tech1 foam body and is secured inside the tough hollow plastic Hi Viz tip.
The float is finished off by the addition of either a standard or Finesse type stainless steel spring eye to match the diameter of the chosen tip. These floats are at their best in depths of up to two and a half feet and best used by having any weight not needed to sink the bait directly under the float or as a series of droppers. The choice of tip diameters enables the use of a wide range of baits and the heavy stem produces a fish attracting splash when the rig is “flipped” on to the surface. This float also doubles up as a margin float for very shallow swims.
Available in one size only with a choice of 2 or 2.5mm dia tips in red, yellow, green or black.
HB Top Tip
These floats perform best when used with baits that do not come off the hook easily such as maggot, worm heads, meat and banded hard pellets. Using these baits lets you take full advantage of slapping your rig repeatedly to attract fish without fear of having to continually re bait.

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. was last modified: July 10th, 2019 by admin
