Marker Float Set Up

[crusian]

Hi Everyone .

I'm thinking about using an ESP Marker Dart Float in the small size with a 2oz lead to quietly check out margin spots on short sessions i.e. I don't want to disturb the swim too much .

What shape of lead should I be looking at please ? .

If you haven’t spent yet 

could do worse than one of these at short range

back to the dart I used a dumpy pear.

Uncoated lead so you can feel more through it. I’m pretty sure you can get hold of small marker style leads. 
I often use a sea fishing breakaway lead, cut the arms down and cable tie them in position. Very useful for picking out debris or minor weed clearance in the margins. You can get them in all sizes fairly cheaply too on eBay.

I'd just grab the first lead I could find. I don't think at such close range it makes any noticeable difference. Maybe some prongs if you want to check for specific debris or silk weed.
