maybe this sounds stupid, but were are the fishing Leaders for ? ( i have never fished before... [censored] purments...) and what are good ( natural ) floaters ? would a piece of wood work as a floater ?

<br>Not to sound rude, but you really need to visit a fishing website, or read a fishing book. Better yet, go practice fishing. I have a hard enough time catching fish with real equipment, let alone improvised equipment. There is skill involved, maybe that's why I'm not so great. ;-) Dont let a survival situation be your first attempt.<br><br><br>

Metal leaders are to keep large fish from biting through the line. There are also leaders for changing hooks, and when the main line has a quality of action due to diameter, taper, stiffness etc. Floats are just that. Fishing is done in 3 basic zones; bottom, mid water and surface. The float acts to suspend the hook at a set depth, and also as a visual indicator of a strike. Wood, a sealed 35MM film can and the cork from a wine bottle are a few improvised floats.I will cover this, and more when my report is complete.

And don't forget. It's the wine bottle cork that's the most fun to get. <br><br> ;-}}<br><br>John<br><br>
