How it works
The drifter float rig is an absolutely deadly method that’s designed to suspend a live or dead bait at a set depth and cover as much water as possible using the wind to carry your bait along. This sometimes overlooked rig is particularly effective for covering a lot of water, catching pike from the bank that are well out of normal casting range and also catching pike from areas that are normally inaccessible to anglers. It is also very useful for doing exactly the same when you’re anchored in a boat.
