Description
Loaded Arrow Waggler +4 No.8
The Loaded Arrow +4 No.8 is a loaded waggler float with a slim, arrow-style profile. The built-in loading in the base provides most of the casting weight, helping the float fly straight and land accurately, while the slender shape cuts through the air and registers bites clearly once it settles.
The +4 No.8 rating means the float needs four No.8 shot on the line in addition to its built-in loading to set it correctly. That small amount of extra shot is ideal for a gentle, slow-falling bait, which is often exactly what fish on commercial fisheries want, particularly when they are feeding up in the water.
Using it on the bank
Lock the float in place with a float adaptor and locking shot, or use a quick-change adaptor if you like to swap floats during a session. Spread the four No.8s down the line to create a slow, natural fall, or bunch them closer to the hook if you want the bait to get down more quickly. Plumb the depth before you begin, then feed little and often over the float.
Choosing the size
The Loaded Arrow range comes in different ratings. The +4 No.8 is the lightest in this range, so it is ideal for close to medium range work in calm conditions and for shallow swims where you want a very delicate presentation. For deeper water, a breeze or more shotting flexibility, the +6 or +8 versions may suit better.

Care and maintenance
Dry the float after use and store it in a float box or tube to protect the tip. Check the adaptor for splits and replace it if needed. Keep the float away from heavy items in your bag, as slim floats are easily snapped.
