Soft-tail floats and hard-tail floats are commonly used floating devices for fishing, and they are obviously different in terms of material, sensitivity and usage.
First of all, the tail of the soft tail float is usually made of soft material, such as rubber or soft plastic. This soft tail design makes floating more flexible and better able to sense subtle changes in water currents or fish bites. Because of its high sensitivity, the soft tail float can respond to the dynamics of the fishing position faster and more accurately, and is more suitable for sensitive fish.
In contrast, the tail of a hardtail is made of hard plastic or wood. Such a material makes the float have a high load-bearing capacity and can carry heavy fishing tackle or bait. The design of the hard tail drift is also relatively simple, and it is more convenient to use. However, due to the hard tail, the sensitivity of hard tail drift will be relatively low, which may cause slow response to changes in fishing positions for some stubborn fish species.
In addition, in terms of use, soft-tail floats often require an assembly with greater buoyancy to ensure the floating effect. However, due to the characteristics of the material, the buoyancy of the hard tail float is relatively small, and it needs a small floating force to maintain the floating state when used.
To sum up, there are obvious differences between soft-tail drifts and hard-tail drifts in terms of material, sensitivity and usage. Fishermen can choose a suitable floating device according to their actual needs and fish characteristics to obtain better fishing results.
