Which One Is Sensitive, Long-body Float Or Date Pit Float?

Float (fish float) is the most basic tool for fishermen. Its main function is to transmit the signal of fish eating bait and adjust the fishing layer. Due to the different shapes of the float, there are long-body floats, date pit floats, water drop floats, etc. Among them, the most commonly used by fishermen are long-body floats and date pit floats. Let’s take a look at which one is sensitive, long-body floats or date pit floats!

1. Bloating design

The long-body float and the date pit float are two types of floats with completely different shapes. From the float body, the long-body float body is particularly slender, and the date pit float body is jujube-like or almost spherical. From the float feet, the long-body float is mostly matched with short float feet, and the date pit float is mostly matched with long float feet. From the float tail, the long-body float is mostly matched with short float tails, and the date pit float is mostly matched with long float tails.

2. Sensitivity comparison

The long-body float is more sensitive than the date pit float under the same conditions. The reason is that the cross-sectional area of ​​the long-body float is definitely smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the date pit float. Therefore, the resistance immediately after the long-body float will be smaller than the date pit float. This is reflected in the floating phase, which means that the long-body float has a greater signal, but the date pit float also has the advantage that the long-body float cannot match, that is, the sudden feeling of the date pit float is stronger than that of the long-body float.

3. Applicable scenarios

Long body floats are generally designed with long body, short feet and short tails. The advantages are good stability and fast hook bait. The disadvantage is slow turnover. From the float type, it is suitable for fishing for bottom, slip-mouthed fish and light-mouthed fish. Most date pit floats are designed with short body, long feet and long tails. The advantage is the turnover speed block, and the disadvantage is the slightly poor stability. From the float type, it is suitable for fishing trip, float, and cutoff.

4. Things to note

1. Which one is sensitive, long-body float or date pit float is relatively sensitive. Although long-body float is slightly more sensitive under the same conditions than date pit float, the sudden feeling of jujube hole float is more obvious than long-body float.

2. The design of long-body floats and date pit floats is very different. The long-body floats are mostly designed to be short-footed, long-body short-tail floats, while the date pit floats are mostly designed to be long-footed, short-body long-tail floats.

3. The suitable scenarios for long-body floats and date pit floats are different. Among them, long-body floats are suitable for fishing for bottoms, slippery fish and light-mouthed fish, while date pit floats are suitable for fishing trips, floats, and cut-offs.
