Gardner Suspender Controller Surface Float - XL

While possible, the Suspender XL is optimized for anchored setups at medium to long range where you need to hold a specific spot.

The XL size provides better buoyancy and visibility, making it easier to see at range and more stable in choppy water conditions.

The float comes with the necessary sleeves and instructions, though you will need to provide your own running leads and terminal tackle.

You are looking for the float to sit at an angle where the stem is visible but the hooklink is held away from the main float body.

Surface fishing in heavy weed is difficult; it is best used in relatively clear water to avoid snagging the hooklink on surface debris.

Increase the weight of the running lead to ensure it holds the line firmly against the surface tension.

Check your casting technique and ensure you feather the line just before it hits the water to straighten out the hooklink.

Ensure the line is sufficiently tensioned so that the float is properly 'half-cocked' and sensitive to minimal movement.
