Description

Their blow moulded bodies are more buoyant than balsa, are much tougher and not prone to damage. Marker Darts do not oscillate in flight, cast straight and true ensuring precise accuracy at distance even in a crosswind. These floats are unique in that they have been designed for optimum performance with designated lead sizes. The small 20cm dart is best used with 2oz (56g) – 2.5oz (70g) leads, whilst the medium 22cm dart works best with 3oz (85g) – 3.5oz (100g) leads. These lead sizes result in optimum casting performance and are balanced perfectly against the buoyancy of the float so that no feeling is lost when pulling the lead back along the bottom while feature finding.

Field Notes

This is a marker float used to locate features and mark spots while carp fishing. It is cast with a designated lead weight, then retrieved along the bottom to feel contours and identify structure at distance. The dart-shaped body is designed for accurate casting in wind and for clear visual marking on the water.

Pros

  • Very buoyant and durable blow-moulded body
  • Casts straight and true, even in crosswinds
  • Designed to work with specific lead sizes for balanced feature finding

Cons

  • Requires matching lead weights for best performance
  • Specialized tool rather than a general-purpose float
