Cast short as possible the float slightly left (for that lift the rod so far as you can and tip short the right mousebutton) - let it drift till 21 feet (you can try also 25, 30 and 35 feet) - then press B-key to close the balearm (I used this time the float in the *holdbackmethod*) - sounds weired ? - yeah - but work well - you get currently bites and don´t need to set the strike - the fish hook by himself - after 50 min. you must adjust a little the floatdepht (on32.8 feet) and after few time again (look that you get ever a lightfactor of 20) - the right rod I cast in the same method - (lift and short mouseclick) - let the *rolling ledger* drift till end or till the light fell down on zero - sometimes it is also better to use the *stop and go* method - for that close the balearm after a bit drift - wait a bit - then open balearm again - after a bit drift repeat this procedure (up to you - cuz the most action will be on the left rod).
