FAQs
What are the different sizes of silicone in the Silvers pack?
The Silvers pack includes three sizes: 0.3mm, 0.4mm, and 0.5mm, catering to a range of line diameters.
Can this silicone be used for methods other than float fishing?
While optimized for float rigging, its grip and durability might lend it to other specific rig setups where a secure, non-damaging line grip is needed, though its primary design is for floats.
Will this silicone damage my fishing line?
No, the silicone is specifically designed to be strong yet soft, preventing any damage to your fishing line.
How does the thinness of the silicone improve rig presentation?
A thinner profile creates less disturbance on the water's surface and allows the float to sit more naturally, making the bait presentation appear more lifelike to wary fish.
Is the silicone easy to adjust once in place?
Yes, the design allows for relatively easy sliding adjustment along the line, provided the line is not excessively wet or dirty.
What types of fishing lines is this silicone compatible with?
It is compatible with most common line materials, including fine wire, carbon, fiberglass, monofilament, and fluorocarbon lines.
Troubleshooting
Silicone slips on the line.
Ensure the line is clean and dry before applying. If using a very thin or slick line, try a slightly larger diameter silicone or consider tying a small knot behind the silicone for extra grip.
Difficulty sliding silicone onto thicker lines.
Gently stretch the silicone opening slightly before applying. Ensure you are using the appropriate larger diameter silicone size (0.5mm) for thicker lines.
Silicone appears stiff or brittle.
This can occur if stored improperly. Ensure it is kept away from heat and direct sunlight. If new, it should be supple; if old, it may be past its best.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
