About this deal

I set the bulk two feet from the hook, so I can cast very easily too. I then have one small bulk of dropper shot just over the length of the float, again to prevent tangles. This is normally three or four No8s. This is the slider and not a pole rig. There is no need or room from complex shotting patterns as this only leads to tangles again. Crude and simple is the way forward with this tactic. I then cast ‘off the bulk’, with the float sitting on top of the shot, but, if your style doesn’t suit this, you can place a small shot just over a float length up the main line, so the float sits around 40 centimettess from the bulk if you find this easier to fish and cast. Below the small droppers I have a No8 swivel to prevent the hook link from spinning up, and this also acts as a final dropper shot too. Fishing this way offers a number of advantages. The first is that you are able to fish well beyond pole range. Today I’m at Haverholme Park Lake in Lincolnshire, where I’m fishing a swim around 40 metres from the bank. The beauty of the slider is I can fish at range, but unlike a pole, which sees you missing bites very often in deep water, when the fish feel the weight of the float, the slider, although much cruder, is much more sensitive. As well as ‘sailaways’, you also get very positive lift bites too. Their most distinctive feature, worn only by females, is a piece of dorsal spine that protrudes above their mouths like a fishing pole—hence their name. Tipped with a lure of luminous flesh this built-in rod baits prey close enough to be snatched. Their mouths are so big and their bodies so pliable, they can actually swallow prey up to twice their own size. Males vs. Females

The next step is the main line. I use 5lb Drennan Feeder line as it sinks well and, being a little stiffer, it also helps prevent tangles on the cast and when the float is sliding, particularly in very deep water. When it comes to floats, I tend to use three different ones. I like DJK sliders, Daiwa Slider Carpers and Drake floats. The important thing is to use a dedicated slider float if possible, the reason being they are designed for this tactic. They are part loaded, very buoyant – so they slide well – and heavy. You need all these things so the tactic works well. Known as a deep water (generally any swim over 10 feet) technique, the slider can also be used to great effect on shallower lakes if they are badly affected by tow. You can even fish it on the river too if you want. It’s a very versatile tactic. Like I said, the method involves using a semi-loaded, large, bodied float, which once cast in, slides up the main line to a stop knot tied at swim depth, enabling the angler to fish deep water easily. The angry-looking deep sea anglerfish has a right to be cranky. It is quite possibly the ugliest animal on the planet, and it lives in what is easily Earth's most inhospitable habitat: the lonely, lightless bottom of the sea. Population This is where most anglers fall down. There is no room for finesse with the slider fishing as this will only lead to tangles. Starting at the important part – the bulk – four to six big shot are ideal, or an olivette for neatness. This offers a compact length of shotting ideal for smoother casting. Importantly, the bulk must be pushed together as tight as you can get it. There don’t want to be any gaps between the string of bulk shots as this is also a tangle problem. Plus, I like to taper my shot from largest to smallest towards the hook, again for neatness.There are more than 200 species of anglerfish, most of which live in the murky depths of the Atlantic and Antarctic oceans, up to a mile below the surface, although some live in shallow, tropical environments. Generally dark gray to dark brown in color, they have huge heads and enormous crescent-shaped mouths filled with sharp, translucent teeth. Some angler fish can be quite large, reaching 3.3 feet in length. Most however are significantly smaller, often less than a foot. Anglerfish Lure
