Float fishing is a different style of fishing normally used in match conditions where regular bites will happen.
Specimen hunting is all about patients, with ledgering you’re able to get a much better line lay on the bottom hiding it away from the wary carp, there are so many more variations to float as stated its a different style of fishing.
I do use floats for specimen fishing such as a controller while floating crust, dog mixers etc....
I do like using the float on the odd occasion when on a match lake but do prefer the quiver tip.
