- Drennan Floats -
Cork floats are great for steelheading but sometimes the water is so clear or the fish are so spooky, that you need an extra edge to be successful. On day's like that, Drennan's clear plastic floats can make the difference between a great day or being skunked.
Below you will see a number of tables. Table 1 is a quick reference chart listing the weight of an individual piece of the most popular sizes of lead shot. The other tables show all models & sizes of floats as well as the amount of weight (in grams) each float will support.
