Hi Guys,
I've caught a variety of species (bream, mullet, blackfish, trevally, flathead) using bread bait suspended beneath a bubble float; and have managed good catches of blackfish recently using them.
From my experience:
Advantages - simple, can vary buoyancy and make them harder to detect, castable over long distance
Disadvantages - somewhat fragile, sensitive to wind
I haven't seen very much information out there in regards to using them in saltwater (most people talk about using them for trout). Does anyone have any comments or opinions on using these over other types of floats?
