The Roach Slim is all about achieving perfect presentation while offering minimal resistance to fish. The elongated, slim body shape of this float means that anglers can perfectly lower a bait into the swim, a deadly way of presenting a bait to fish like roach and skimmers. It also suits it to lifting and dropping, working a bait to entice bites. The slim nature of the float means that a taking fish also feels very little resistance, and this shape also means that the float can be struck cleanly out of the water – both advantages to hitting bites from shy-biting fish. The stem is made from wire, giving the float stability and sensitivity, and the bristle from fibreglass meaning it is both visible and very sensitive. The 0.2g, 0.4g and 0.6g feature 1mm bristles, while the 0.8g, 1g, 1.25g and 1.5g all feature 1.2mm bristles. THE EDGE OF NATURAL FLOATS! All the current and new Natural floats are made to be as durable as possible, with the exclusive Elastilex Paint Finish giving them incredible resistance to the elements and wear and tear, including the line digging into the body of the float. This particular paint finish means there is a very thin elastic wrap around the body, that not only secures the whole float in place, and prevents body damage when catching large numbers of fish. We also made a very conscious decision to make all the Natural floats from high quality Balsa, which enables us to make the body of the float as small as possible to offer minimal resistance and drag. Balsa is also heavier than the foam that is often used, which on rough natural venues in challenging conditions means the balsa bodies are more stable. All the Natural Range have been developed, designed, tested and are used by our stable of experts and international anglers, including Matt Godfrey, James Dent, Andy Bennett, and Frankie Gianoncelli, who are constantly tweaking, adapting and adding to this popular range. - Minimal resistance to fish - Elongated, slim body shape - Perfect for shy-biting fish - Stable and sensitive
