i try and get away with as light a float as possible. for 5ft of water a slim bodied 4 x 12 would b my first choice with a bulk of no 8's about 18 inches from hook and 2 small droppers. the slim body helps cut through the surface tow and allows the bait to just trip on if there is a reasonable undertow. if they're really havin it i just bulk the shot and use the bait as a dropper. keep lifting and droppin and i'll always start by plumbin up to dead depth and add an inch just to make sure im always on bottom wen the fish get their heads down and start diggin out the bottom.
