Chagoo Angler Fish Slides, Shark Slippers, Glow in The Dark, Super Soft, Anti-Slippery

Product Information

There are more than 200 species of anglerfish, most of which live in the murky depths of the Atlantic and Antarctic oceans, up to a mile below the surface, although some live in shallow, tropical environments. Long forgotten and rarely used these days, due to its wrongly perceived difficulty to fish well, slider float fishing is almost like feeder fishing, but with more possibilities available to the angler I reckon. This is certainly an advantage when targeting skimmers and roach, which can give very delicate bites.

The slider involves the use of a large, heavy, bodied float, which once cast is set up in a way so it is able to slide up the main line, allowing you to easily fish deep waters with all the sensitivity, flexibility and sheer enjoyment of watching a waggler. Like I said, the method involves using a semi-loaded, large, bodied float, which once cast in, slides up the main line to a stop knot tied at swim depth, enabling the angler to fish deep water easily.Today I’m at Haverholme Park Lake in Lincolnshire, where I’m fishing a swim around 40 metres from the bank. This type of material is used by top brands in manufacturing their footwear, such as runners and performance sneakers, for their shock-absorption capability.

Regarding the size of float, this all depends upon where you are looking to fish and the depth of water.

Their most distinctive feature, worn only by females, is a piece of dorsal spine that protrudes above their mouths like a fishing pole—hence their name. The Angler fish slides come in various colors, including yellow, light gray, pink, matcha green, beige, bright blue, orange and purple. Starting at the important part – the bulk – four to six big shot are ideal, or an olivette for neatness. You can always place a small glass or plastic bead between the float and the knot to prevent this happening. A bulk of large shot, or an olivette if you prefer, provides the main weight to pull the main line through the float’s bottom eye so it ‘slides’ up the line.
