Long Cast Float 10-13 Slim Type (54)

This float is handmade by me. I've priced it as low as possible for fellow fishing enthusiasts, and I've poured all my technical know-how into its creation with the concepts of durability, sensitivity, and stability in mind.

◇First, let me explain the meaning of 10-13 type. The first number, 10, represents the sinker weight in go (a Japanese unit of weight). In the photo, the boundary between green and black indicates the water surface when using a 10-go sinker. The second number, 13, represents the total weight of the sinker, basket, and chum in go, indicating a buoyancy of 13-go. In reality, there is some additional leeway.

◇Specifications: Total length is 34cm, weight is 14.0g, and the wing width is 7.5cm.

◇Structure and Features: The main body is made of styrofoam, and the lower part is equipped with stainless steel and a few grams of counterweight, fixed to the body. This mitigates the impact of waves and stabilizes the float's posture. Its slim shape also minimizes any discomfort for the fish, allowing for sensitive detection of bites. A rotatable wing is attached to the top, making it resistant to crosswinds and maintaining a vertical position. Furthermore, the wing size has been increased and treated with fluorescent paint for excellent visibility.

◇Additionally, a Φ3mm tube is attached to the wing, allowing for the attachment of a size 37 chemical light stick, making it suitable for night fishing.

◇As a side note, based on my practical experience, I've found that the 10-13 type pairs well with a 10-go ippatsu kago (a type of fishing basket). This is likely due to the amount of chum used. If you use a lot of chum, the 12-15 type might be a safer choice.

◇Photo 2 shows an鯵 (aji/horse mackerel) caught at a depth of 50m after a long cast. The slim type proved to be highly sensitive.

◇Important Notes and Requests: The shaft is made of a bamboo skewer for weight reduction, so please handle with care. The wing is prone to deformation, so please use the provided support material during shipping to prevent this. As this is entirely handmade, please understand that it may not be perfectly uniform. We kindly request that returns based on dissatisfaction with the exterior appearance will not be accepted.
