A "Float" or "Match" rod is commonly used, between 12-14ft long in conjunction with a "fixed spool" reel. Often on faster flowing rivers, a "Centre pin" reel (which looks a bit like a fly fishing reel, but isn't) is used instead in order to "trot" a bait downstream with accurate control.<br />

'''Legering''' is where the float is substituted for a weight, in order to either get more casting distance, fish the bait on the bottom, or get it down to the bottom of the River / Lake / Pond faster. The weight is often swapped for a plastic device (with a weight moulded onto it) called a "feeder" / "Swimfeeder" in order to build up a "carpet" of free samples near your hook in order to attract the fish.
