Chubber/loafer floats

The Chubber

It’s fairly buoyant tip is highly suitable for use in medium to fast turbulent water, such as the Hampshire, Avon Dorset Stour, middle Trent and many other fast rivers, where it can be used to trot all size and manner of baits through the swim, either dragging the bottom or at various depths. It’s designed to carry a lot of weight, enabling you to sink your bait quickly and keep it down in the water where the fish are, even in challenging conditions.

Here’s a more detailed breakdown:

Fast, turbulent water:
Chubber floats are ideal for rivers with a decent flow and where the water isn’t calm.

Large baits:
They are designed to carry heavier baits like bread, meat, or large pellets, which are often used when targeting chub or barbel.

Depth and Control:

The buoyancy of a chubber float allows it to be fished in deeper water and also helps to control the bait’s movement in the current, ensuring it drifts naturally through the swim.

Not just for Chub:

While often associated with chub fishing, chubber floats can be effective for other species when fishing in similar conditions.
