The Lignum stick float has become popular within the last few decades because it gives weight to the float for casting to mid river or far bank  The Lignum stick float can be used when casting out at a distance from the bank due to its heavy lignum wood base, which has replaced the normal cane or Balsa in standard stick floats. The extra weight will carry the float when casting to areas of the swim where an standard stick could not. The lignum stick is a big stick and best fished at distance but can be used closer in. It is an ideal float to use as an alternative to a waggler giving a different presentation. With a slight up stream wind this float can ease through the swim very gently and almost put the bait into the mouths of the fish.

Casting the lignum stick is best done with a sweeping side cast and feathering the line allows the shot to lay out in front landing on the water in a neat line. Overhead casting for longer distances must be done with a sweep of the rod from in front of you, making an arc backwards and casting out making sure that the line of shots stay in a straight line.

If you grease the reel line with a silicone spray or a grease pad you will find that the line stays floating and when mending the line to the float, the float will not move out of position. The secret is to keep a tight line from the reel to float but not to impede its downward trot unless to hold back allowing the bait to rise of the bottom.

Dragging the bottom of the swim can be done easily with this float it helps to slow down the float and the bait making it very appealing to lazy fish. This method has accounted for many match winning weights.
