Fukase — drift float fishing

フカセ釣り

A lightly weighted bait drifts with a small stream of groundbait. The aim is to keep the hook bait moving naturally at the feeding depth.

Tackle and preparation

A float rod, small reel, float, split shot and single hook. Use groundbait only where permitted.

On the water

  1. Set the initial depth and watch the direction of drift.
  2. Feed small amounts where the current will carry them towards the hook bait.
  3. Adjust depth or weight if the float and bait are moving differently.
