8' LBSF Mini Float Rig - Drone Deployment

The thought going into this rigs creation started with West Coast fishing and the solution to keeping lobsters crabs and eels off bottom baits while still being near the sea floor. As an added benefit with a float, baits will appear more appetizing natural and last longer for pelagic species who may also be nearby. To use, attach crimped Monofilament end loop of the leader on the weighted side to the drone's bait release and slide a baited float to the mainline swivel side. This essentially flies the rig upside down for safe and effective flights, making sure floats work as intended and don't tangle. Best for use with heavy Claw Sinkers. These Leaders are legal in California Texas and Florida.

Tips:

• Rinse rigs after fishing for longer future use
  
• Try to avoid use in busy or frequently traveled waters. Boat activity may result in cut offs

• Use smaller baits than typically on bottom rigs as floats must be able to suspend them

• Small sized floats designed to hold 8oz - 1lb baits approximately

• Pair rigs with heavy Claw Sinkers (1-2lbs) to keep baits in place

• Fish these rigs on heavy tackle as not to break off, leaving floats in sharks accidentally
