Still one of the best guides to float fishing techniques.

"For most coarse fishermen their idea of angling happiness is to sit quietly watching a float. For so many it seems the ideal way of fishing and the one which brings them most pleasure. Floats are as good as ever in coping with most of the conditions and waters an angler may encounter, and it is for all those who maintain their faith in the float that this book has been written. Zoomers, Sliders, Sticks, Duckers and Avons... these are but few of the names we have to conjure with nowadays. In these pages you will find floats, old and new. The important thing about them is that as far as the authors are concerned they are sufficient for any angler to fish every kind of water for every sort of fish - big or small. Every one of them has stood Billy Lane in good stead in practical angling conditions over the years. The authors have treated the floats mentioned in the book in a logical sequence, starting with the simplest float for the simplest conditions and going on from there to the more complex ones."
