![]() Sometimes I slightly hold back just enough that the float creates a small wake. These use to be one of my go to steelhead lures, and still remains in the box. There are no hard and fast rules so just experiment with different presentations, colours and sizes until you find what works for you. If it is obviously on the surface go deeper and it you are hitting bottom bring it up a little. If you want to swing it across stream or retrieve it you can afford to go a bit deeper as the current or retrieve will lift the blade up. For dead drifting don't hold back just let the float go, I find i works better if the weight is leading the blade down stream. For faster water you can go deeper and for shallow you may have to go a lot shorter to prevent this. If you want to dead drift set the float depth at least a couple of feet shallower than the run, otherwise because the blade is heavier than roe or wool you will hang up or be snagging fish if they are stacked up. ![]() You want to size the blade to the amount of flow in the run you are fishing, bigger flow, bigger blade, what you are aiming for is a slower rotation, not a really fast spin. ![]() You want about a 2' leader, I don't see any point in fishing flurocarbon if you are fishing a blade, regular mono is fine. Fish the same or a little bit less weight than you would for float fishing roe / wool etc. ![]()
