🪶 Top & Bottom Floats – Introduction

Top and bottom floats are a classic choice for running water fishing, offering exceptional control and bite detection in flowing swims. Similar in application to stick float fishing, these floats are designed to be attached at both the top and the bottom, giving the angler precise control over speed, depth, and presentation.

This attachment method allows the float to track the flow naturally, or be held back and inched through the swim — a key tactic when targeting species like chub, barbel, roach, and dace. Whether you’re trotting a steady glide or holding back in a powerful run, top and bottom floats give you the confidence to present your bait perfectly.

Over the years, these floats have become a staple for serious river anglers. Their versatility makes them ideal for a wide range of conditions — from slow-moving canals and deep docks to fast, powerful rivers. Each model in the Gold Medal Float range has been carefully developed and tested to provide the right balance of stability, buoyancy, and sensitivity.
