There is a change in line or color for almost all drift floats at the top of the float. This float line or colored top should indicate where the line is in the water. It means that the only part of the float you can see is the top of the top line (color) as the float moves across the water column. The float is very high if the line is above the water and you see half afloat. High-seat float fishing makes it difficult to identify good bites because it does not sink completely (underwater). To place the float deeper in the water column, use the additional weight below or a smaller float. If the line is underwater, you probably won't see most of the float, in which case your float is very low. In this case, you will have trouble looking at your fleet to see what it is doing (towing, landing, etc.). Use a lower weight to lift the float OR use a giant float.
