Let me throw my answer in here. I have to say I like Shimano reels. I almost exclusively trout fish in Pa. I have around six or seven Shimano reels for Pa trout. I mostly use the saros. I have a Shimano symetre that I take to NY. I have two Hardy fly reels. One for New York fishing and one for Pa. My centerpin reel is an Okuma Raw II. There are a few other reels of who knows what make hanging in my garage.

Float fishing sounds so much more refined. Just like fly fishing with an "indicator". But really they are both bobber fishing.

That’s the point I was making Josey. SnookyieDookie Flyfishermen call them “Indicators”. They’re all just bobbers. It’s more complex than I had realized. Turns out they’re fun and have more uses than just holding a Worm and hook at a given depth. Still, it’s funny to hear A-5 called a bobber fisherman.
A-5 I’m hoping to do something this winter with those corks. It’ll be fun.

Not quite the same as “Thingamobobs” and other Indictators I have floating around(no pun intended)
Even the Fly guys and spinning rod guys I fished with in Erie all had floats. Most had the small clear ones. I have a few but can’t cast them well on the Mini Pin. Think mine are Drennan.

It’s funny to be drifting in a skinny column 5-6 floats all in series, I looked around and realized 4-5 different types of rods being used but all looked the same from the Float side. The guys using heavy spinning gear hauled fish in like landing bluegill. They did lose a few. Many had short bass rods with bait casters. The aforementioned fly guys mixed in with a few Pinners. By the end we all had identical bait and hooks as well since all they wanted to hit the last day were minnows on tiny hooks. Still hard to believe I could land such hard fighting fish on a 4lbs leader and size 18 wire hook.
