Float or better known as fishing float is one of the many fishing equipment that has a function to detect the movement of fish when it touches the hook. When the float moves/sways a sign that the bait is being eaten or the fish's mouth has been caught in the hook. Although the actual use of a float is optional because it can be replaced with basic fishing techniques by waiting for the bait to be pulled which can be detected through the fishing line and also the end of the rod.

The movement of the float indicates the condition of the hook/bait in different waters, usually a slow moving fishing float indicates that the fish has just touched the bait, whereas if the float enters and sinks, it means that the hook has stuck in the fish's mouth at that time the angler takes steps to pull the rod.
Choosing a float for fishing is actually not that difficult. The most important thing in choosing a fishing float is adjusted to your fishing needs, because if it's not right then not only the movement of the fish will go undetected but can make anglers go home without a fish.

In addition to adjusting to the needs of anglers in choosing the right fishing buoy or float, we also have to choose a color pattern that matches the spot or surrounding conditions and is right with the lighting conditions and the color of the surrounding water because for anglers the float must be clearly seen by anglers. With a striking color pattern will make it easier for anglers to know the movement of fish, even for fishing at night though.
Float Material & Shape
Let's start discussing the three raw materials for fishing floats in general. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages. The first is a wooden float which has an advantage in throwing because it is relatively heavy on the other hand because it is made of wood, it will be easily damaged and broken, reducing the balance of the buoy and also the buoyancy resistance is not as stable as other materials. Secondly, there is a float made of foam which is relatively durable and strong enough to support the weight of tin or fish bait, but the ejection power is lighter because of the foam material. Lastly, there is a Styrofoam float which is relatively easy to break, but on the other hand, anglers can get this float at a low price. For its own shape, buoys in general usually have a round, oval and long shape.

If the angler wants to fish in a fishing area that has current and flowing water conditions like a river, this type of fat & stretchy float should be used. This type of fishing float at the end is fatter and stretchy, in its use it usually also uses other accessories such as a stopper and a small pipe made of rubber. The goal is that this buoy functions properly and does not go up and down. To make it easier for anglers to distinguish between the following characteristics of the shape of this type of float:
- Has a hole located in the middle, serves to insert the strings and to make it easier to insert a small pipe.
- In addition, it has a fatter and larger tip shape than the base.

Note: If the current is too strong, this type of float will become useless, because the bait will run with the current and even float.

For short cylinders, it is usually used for calm water conditions. While the long cylinder is suitable for use in rippling water conditions. This type of float will react with the pointed tip sinking and the bottom half floating visible.

Accessories Used in the Use of Buoys
Some of the usual accessories to complement the use of fishing floats are:
Chemical Light (Fosfor)

Fosfor or Phosphorus is used when fishing at night, namely at the base of the float. Its function is to increase sensitivity so that someone can easily detect when fishing at night. The shape of this phosphor is like a stick made of plastic. How to use it is to bend it first until a green light appears.

There are various color and size variants that anglers can use, but the recommendation from MahakamMancing is the black one and the size is adjusted to the anglers' fishing line.
