- Driftbeater float
The driftbeater float is a type of waggler which is specifically designed to combat strong wind and drift.
Driftbeater's have quite a large buoyant body which have a high shot carrying capacity. A Thin antenna to help stop the float drifting and a Sight bob to keep the float visible in choppy water.
In this film I cover how to use the drfitbeater float.

Dear Friend, I really enjoyed this clip. I use to fish with these floats years ago, and what good fun it was. Thanks for the memories.
I love it when you meet a pro fisherman who knows what he's talking about!
great vid! the wind and the flow was killing me yesterday hahaha
Another really good instructional video! Peter Drennan states that the anchor shot should completely sink the float. The only video I have seen on how to use the Driftbeater! Keep these excellent videos coming
Excellent. I bought 4 of these floats and can honestly say , they are brilliant. And one of my favourite anglers demonstrating. Thank you
You are very kind, thank you. Best of luck with your fishing.
My wife bought one of these floats about fifteen years ago, back when she used to fish, too. It has never been used. But, because it doesn't fit in any of my float boxes, it has spent all those years in the top of my tackle box, constantly getting in the way.
It's so delicate looking that I couldn't bring myself to relegate it to The Carrier Bag Of Doomed, Useless And NotSuchAGoodIdeaAfterall Fishing Tackle.
After seeing this video, I may well have to give it a go sometime soon.
Windy autumn days often see the Driftbeater.
I love using a 1-2g driftbeater style float for the lift method although I fish it slightly different to the way you've described. I use a float stop or sliding stop knot above the float to control depth and then have the second float stop about 18 inches above the joining knot beteen mainline and hook length to prevent tangles or the float ending up in the net. I join the two using a 4 turn water knot and pinch a swan shot onto the tag ends then trim off the excess, because the pinch is not directly on the line there is no weakness. I find that the advantage of doing this is that it casts much better and you are not limited to a rod length in terms of depth which makes it fantastic for bream in deeper water, the bites are almost always greatly exaggerated lifts which you can't fail to spot which really helps with shy biters like crucians, tench and skimmers
Yes I see what you have done, a sort of cross between the driftbeater and a slider float rig. Most interesting, thank you for sharing.
No problems, the method has accounted for 2 roach over the 2lb mark, an 8lb bream, a 2lb 10oz crucian and a 6lb 8oz tench this year for myself so I'm quite pleased with the results, the only place it doesn't work well is over a very soft bottom where the ssg can plug in. Hope it finds a place in your angling and does as well for you as it has for me
Ive just found a new pond that is 14ft deep at a rod length out this method could just be the method im looking for? Thanks for sharing, Graham.

Really well explained and great method. I'm having another crack at this, this year at it was great last season. I absolutely loved fishing with this method for Tench and Carp if you get it set up right as explained here its just brilliant. Thanks again mate, much better than sitting behind buzzers.
Thank you Graham and the very best of luck to you.
I gave this another go yesterday. I only had three hours but managed three big Roach, a big Rudd, two good tench that I lost, but one small Tench I landed. Thanks again.....I'll keep practising
Thank you for sharing. May I ask, how did the Tench escape ?
Thanks for the response. I think its probably my rod as its a carp rod and obviously overkill too stiff. Unfortunately I broke my float rod. Ive just brought a Drennan Tench and float rod that I cant wait to use but it's in the UK and I currently live in Lithuania, the fishing here is incredible. I actually managed another couple of hours this evening. I missed loads of bites. As soon as the float lifted I was striking but missing them. I think they where mainly roach and rudd though. I tired moving the anchor shot different distances form the hook and different sized hooks but it didn't make any difference. Any ideas ?
The Driftbeater can be very sensitive. Increasing the distance between anchor shot to hook will give the fish more time to properly take the bait. If it is small fish causing the problem, using a large bait may help. It could also mean there were no larger fish in the swim at the time to scare the small fish away. Best of luck.
A1 just started fishing at 64 and found this very enlightening cheers
Excellent tuition - thank you!
Subscribed.
Thanks that helps me a lot .I will now start using the three drift beater floats I have not been using because I did not understand how to use them
Ideal for those windy autumn days, best of luck.
your videos are gold dust
Thank you very much. Best of luck with your fishing.
Great video easy to follow and understand
Thank's very much, best of luck with your Driftbeater fishing.
Top stuff as always , enjoyable to watch and put into practice , sound advice for anyone.
Thank you very much.
Right I better go buy one of these floats as I'm lake fishing this Friday and it's forecast heavy wind
Best of luck.
Thanks looking forward to more vids.
This is a good technique, I had three gudgeon using it.
This is one float I have never used but I will now .Can you recommend me a make and size for general fishing please .👍
I use Drennan Driftbeaters. The one I'm using in the film is the No.3, 2 SSG size. Out of the four I use that one the most, so I would be tempted to start there. Very best of luck.
Enjoyed!
Can such a float be called universal?
hey, thanks for the info.
My pleasure, best of luck with your fishing.
@@AmateurAngling out for some big roach and tench 2morrow
@@AmateurAngling im getting roach to 3 and a half pound on a big res, ill let you know how i get on, thanks again for the video, ill copy it to a tee
hi i had a good day, big roach to 3lb and two nice tench, one 7 plus and one around 8 pound, i was fishing around 12 foot deep in a big res, using my 15 foot rod, not one tangle at all, all day, thanks for your info, also my sandwiches were fantastic
hi been using your set up caught nice tench and roach thanks again
Is that float a loaded one or do i have to shot the line until it is adjusted just right? I ordered one and hope to cancel the drift during angling in my canal, where the loaded and unloaded insert wagglers are drifting away the whole time :(
Thank you again for the nice video :-)
That one is not a loaded float, you will indeed have to shot the line. Best of luck.
Thank you really helpful. From Samantha
You are very welcome. best of luck.
Could u use this with 8lb line for carp are is the line a overkill for it if u could let me kno thanks
The larger sizes of the float should be fine. Best of luck.
@@AmateurAngling thank you
Have watches all your videoclips. Thanks a lot indeed for clear explanations and tips :)
My pleasure, more on the way. Thank you very much for your comment.
It seems to me, could be good if some of incorrect angles actions (mistakes) will be illustrated in real, on the venue, then mistakes explained, corrected, and result shown (IMHO). Brgds Mark
I will think about that, thank you.
Marks Oboruns i
love all the videos, when is the next video coming? cant wait!
The next film (method feeder fishing) is well on the way. I have all the footage and I'm writing the commentary right now. With luck I will post it in about ten days. I will try not to keep you waiting for too long, thanks for your comment.
Amateur Angling thx, looking forward to it :)
lovely
What if it's a deep lake ?
The deeper the water the more difficult these floats are to cast. I have fished in 10 foot with a fifteen foot rod, but 3 to 8 foot is better. Much deeper water is the realm of the slider float.
