Why does there have to be so many Nasty, negative comments on this type of thing. The video is about a product that needs marketing to get it out there. Why do people find it necessary to take the piss out of someone who is not only an iconic angler who has had more input into things than a lot of people have even had years on the bank. But he is also one of the nicest and most genuine guys you could ever meet. Have a thought for how your bitchy comments can affect someone and if you can't comment constructively then don't bother!
Just a follow up. I purchased the Plumbezee float, one large and one small. I tested them in my pool, at known depth. First off, I will state the float does what it is marketed to do. It is ezee to use. Now to the good stuff. When you cast it out, give slack line, the float rises to the surface, the depth is from the bottom of the float, vice the top, in case that wasn't clear in the video. In a 6ft pool, I am 6' 3" tall I know the depth is not over my head, yet the float was consistently over my head when removed from the water. I had me mate watch and see as well. even in a calm pool, no current, the lead at the bottom and where the float surfaced was at an angle, not straight up and down. This added anywhere from 6" to 10" difference, as the line from rod tip to lead was at an angle. this would occur on any body of water. So, the exact depth will need to be adjusted. I have found that I would need to take two rods with me to use this in the most effective and accurate manner. One rod would have the float rigged up, and the other for fishing. This is so that I would not have to mess about removing the float tying on the fishing bits, etc... It works, not 100% accurate as described, but I can see it as a useful tool, but would still require adjustments. I would get depth, then measure that distance on my fishing setup then cast fishing setup out to make sure float is cocked right. A far as zigs, if you are fishing big waters, 20 to 30 depths, will get you in the ballpark of depth, but still need adjusting. Is it worth it overall. Yea its only a few bucks, quick work does keep water disturbance down, and that is what I would say is most valuable with it.
@@frazzledazzle89, no. Actually using a thicker leader may hinder performance. The line when retrieved locks the float in place. I see this best used waggler fishing, as you can get depth very fast, one cast. Also, if you zig fish in depths around rod length or so, anything deeper than that and you have to start walking backwards to measure length. Under rod length depth it works.
@@t3angling575 Thanks, mine arrived yesterday, mainly using it for quick depth finding & zigs on waters with an average depth of 8 foot so i should be fine.
I been using Polaris floats for years on my pike set ups. Potential problem with these for plumbing as i see it, is that during your initial retreival following a med to long cast the float tends to catch the surface as yr winding back which dislodges the float moving it along the line to give you a false depth.
I've also been doing this for decades, with a couple of extra edges to it that enable it to be used in deeper water first cast and make the line less likely to be felt or seen by the fish.
Brilliant and iv never seen it until today granted iv been away from carp fishing for 4 years but either way this is awsome and simple which is normally the best way... mint technique 👌.
Nice if the lake is no more than a rod length deep, if you fishing a lake 20ft deep or more would make it interesting trying to bring that in and measure it. Its basically a Polaris float, been around for years 👍🏻
This is better than a polaris float cos line goes directly straight down to lead. A polaris you wind down to it causing line to be angled dragged away from vertical to lead. Meaning you can't get correct reading of depth like this float. But polaris is fished not to plumb depth anyway. It's just purely to float ledger which I found back in my tench days very handy. I'm getting one of each size anyway cos I love a bit of float fishing for carp
I know it s an old comment,but the Polaris is straight down to the lead,the Locslide is angled,but it doesn t affect the fishing anyway,just with the Locslide ,you don t know where to feed.
What will they think of next. I find this interesting. Here in the U.S. I don't know a bunch of anglers who fish with zigs. I like to catch Carp on various methods, keeps the game interesting to me. Some call me "Tarty", that is ok as I am OCD. LOL! I like this idea of this. Having comments below, I have not taken the opportunity to look into a Polaris Float. I waggler float fish from time to time, this will come in handy for finding depth, and I would like to catch Carp on zigs (unsuccessful as I am still trying to narrow down and learn more of the method). This will or should help find depth much faster than I am now with plummet leads and making multiple casts or dragging a lead and float through my intended swim. Thanks for the video. Question, is there a desired distance to place float from lead, or is that even a consideration? Cheers all!
Amazing how many mongs resort to giving him stick about his appearance ! If only they where anywhere near as good as him. Bit jealous are we children ?????.
@@gee3883 I think Frank is a decent guy and would more than likely have enough intelligence to see the funny side! I have said nothing that is not true (why think it and not say it? I would say it to his face or anybody else that has Just For Men stains on their scalp as that is type of guy I am) so if that is hurtful to you?? may be you are too much of a fan boy, may be the problem is you are too worried about aesthetics and your own hair going grey! Well if that day comes to me I will embrace it, if my hair falls out I will shave that bitch right off and go for the Phil Mitchell look, what makes a person is more than just skin deep, even if that skin is on your head and dyed with a hint of purple!
@@RodDuster "may be the problem is you are too worried about aesthetics", says the prat commenting on Frank's hair/scalp colour! You couldn't make it up. What a nob!
As has already been mentioned, it doesn't really cover all eventualities. If the depth is over 12 feet then it doesn't work. Could be useful in some situations but has limitations.
What Historic UK carp has Frank actually caught ?? Hes not on the same level as Dave Lane, Ritchie Mac, Terry hearn and such...Its just I haven't heard Frank catch of any of the old history fish considering how long he been in the game.
Matt The Taffy he’s from the north west and caught a lot of the redesmere history fish in the 80/90s. Frank isnt a big uk fish hunter he goes overseas a lot. He’s more of a innovator he was the FIRST to use bright hook baits and had made big companies a lot of money i.e Korda’s throwing sticks.

My comment wasnt nasty just a general comment that there not a new thing and id seen it many years ago . Certainly not takin the piss

do you need to use a thick leader with this? Looks like the float might wobble back down n the retrieve?

Same thing as a polaris or locslide float! Hardly revolutionary.
Frank's a lovely bloke & forgot more about carp fishing than most of us will ever know👍

Good to see Frank offering great advice . Legendary angler
I've also been doing this for decades, with a couple of extra edges to it that enable it to be used in deeper water first cast and make the line less likely to be felt or seen by the fish.
Do tell you've got me thinking about how the lad's fish rainbow lake... but how we could use it to fish really weedy waters 💧 🤔
Brilliant and iv never seen it until today granted iv been away from carp fishing for 4 years but either way this is awsome and simple which is normally the best way... mint technique 👌.
Every video I watch of Frank I ask myself all the time, why does he remind me of Liam Gallagher lol his humour and his stories are class!
Noel
Nice one Frank. Having seen you use this before I can see the benefits.
Nice if the lake is no more than a rod length deep, if you fishing a lake 20ft deep or more would make it interesting trying to bring that in and measure it. Its basically a Polaris float, been around for years 👍🏻
Used these for years nothing new (Polaris floats ) and they work brilliantly
Brilliant product yet again
Saw these in Jim gibbinsons big water carp long time ago
so did Frank... ;-)

Thank you Franck ! A other great product 🔥😱
carp fishings answer to Noel Gallagher!
What tanning products do you use Frank and what hair dye products do you use
Lol
Wait was that the beachcaster rig that was all the rage in the early 90's?

Top man 👍
Well this work with braid thinking of putting it on my bait dropper rod for the river 🤔
Amazing how you managed to stop people turning to page 26 of modern specimen hunting since 1983 to keep it secret Frank!
😂😂😂👍
Impressive that!
Looks good. Wonder how long it will be before korda jump on it
Lifetime by the looks of it 😐😐
Korda have a far better zig float system already all the korda haters sad bastards lol
@@addictedtoangling this isn't a Zig Float System, your misstake
Now it's a carp tackle float the price has doubled lol
Legend
When are they available frank
When will these be in the shops Frank
What if your fishing deeper water how will to get all the line in without it hitting the rod tip?
so if ur in 20ft of water how do u get the float on the bank ,just hand line it in?
And when you have a deep lake up to 30 feet?
Can you use this with braid?
Why's Frank got a purple head?
I thought the secret was that Frank has been on the Just For Men hair dye for years, even his head is dye stained! 🤣
Amazing how many mongs resort to giving him stick about his appearance ! If only they where anywhere near as good as him. Bit jealous are we children ?????.

Anything over 12 ft you wanna hope you have long arms
Be good for weedy waters float ledgering but how can you drop the lead in weed?
Gardener c-clips on a large running ring/ring on the end of a helicopter rig, tie pva cord to the ring and lead for longer casts with bigger leads.
@@andrewbeckley728 great solution
What about silt
I cant understand the criticism within some of them comments? Why bother?
Are them rods parallel butt century's by any chance?
Sonik gravity x I'd say mate
That’s ok in muddy holes but what about big pits when it 16-20-30 feet
Adjustable Zigs.
Or just make one out of a stick with 3 screw eyes like I do, had mine for 28 years
I fish lake at 24-28 foot, am I fuck using that thing
Basically a copy of Polaris float, I'm guessing you can't check multipule depths and swims in one cast like a marker,
Why have u purple hair?
Poor quality henna from the Pakistani shop.
Just a Polaris float Frank
Far to much time to think about solving problems that aren't even problems and to many people willing to part with their money all to easily 🤸🧘
polaris float its not new lol lol lol come on frank get some thing new ,this is as old as your hair style lol .
Just get on with
