Description

Shallow paste fishing can be a deadly method for carp in summer and often sorts out the larger specimens. When fishing paste shallow the float tends to end up in the landing net with the fish jumping all over it and needs to be very strong. With this in mind I have made the new SP’s from super tough Tech3 foam coupled with a strong 1mm diameter glass stem which passes right through the body. These features make these floats almost indestructible. These floats also do a good job when long line mugging. They are heavy enough to swing to the fish and almost impossible to tangle being attached to the line with two float rubbers one of which is  right at the top of the float. Available in two sizes – SP1 and SP2 and with the option of red or yellow fluorescent painted tips.

HB Top Tip
Fish these floats with a piece of float rubber top and bottom and feed VERY sloppy (like thick soup) crushed pellet to put a cloud in the water. If you cannot throw the slop far enough just add an extra pot to your top kit to put some in (I use a plastic spoon to tip the slop into the pot). Ship out, drop the slop into the swim from a couple of feet above the water to make a splash and lower the baited rig into the resulting cloud.

HB Redneck
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.
