How to Rig a Sheffield Float for Steelhead Float Fishing
A Sheffield float is a torpedo-shaped fishing bobber that has gained in popularity as a deadly tool in an angler's arsenal when going after Steelhead trout. The float is designed not only to mark the angler's spot, but to hold the bait at the depth where the trout are feeding. The sliding design of the Sheffield float makes adjustments fast and easy.

Adjust the float along the line so the hook rig and bait are at the desired depth below the Sheffield float.

The float adjusts easily by removing the vinyl tubes and sliding the float body to the new position on the line, then replacing the tubes.
