The Spot On Balsa Marker Float Kit by Nash is a high-performance marker float designed for carp anglers who want to accurately analyse their fishing areas. Thanks to its streamlined, highly buoyant body, it quickly identifies breaklines, shoals and weedbeds to optimise every rig placement.
This complete marker kit combines excellent lift with low hydrodynamic drag. The balsa-based composite material provides strong buoyancy, enabling the float to surface effectively even above dense weedbeds and deposits of leaves or silt. You thus get a reliable reading of depth and bottom type without wasting time.
Designed for modern carp fishing, the Spot On Balsa Marker Float Kit is suitable for both experienced anglers and beginners. Its intuitive design, with a simple mounting system and perfectly matched components, ensures smooth use on most waters: lakes, ponds, gravel pits or slow-flowing canals.
One of the main strengths of this bottom marker float is its ability to cast far while remaining stable. The tapered profile reduces wind resistance and promotes a straight trajectory, helping you reach areas often inaccessible with less refined rigs. Once the lead is in place, the high buoyancy of the body and the foam support float ensures a decisive rise of the marker.
The anti-tangle boom and ceramic escape ring limit the risk of tangles during casting and retrieval. The line runs freely, improving sensitivity and the perception of information transmitted by the lead. You can better feel bottom hardness, substrate changes and potential obstacles, for more precise spot mapping.
Thanks to its high-visibility tip, the float remains perfectly identifiable at distance, whatever the light conditions. The shape and colour of this element are designed to stand out on the water surface, making it easier to locate your marker when multiple lines are in use or when fishing at long range.
Finally, the kit includes a quick-attach marker lead system and a dedicated buffer bead. This setup allows you to easily adapt the lead weight to casting distance or target depth while protecting the float from repeated impacts. You thus have a reliable, durable and versatile set for your prospection sessions.
To get the most from the Spot On Balsa Marker Float Kit, start by assembling the rig by attaching the marker lead to the quick-clip, then connecting the anti-tangle boom and buffer bead to your mainline. Make sure to tie strong knots and check them regularly, especially after several powerful casts.
When using it, cast beyond the area you want to explore, then reel in slowly until you feel the lead touch the bottom. Then allow line slack to let the float surface completely. Repeat the operation while slightly moving the rig to map depth, shelves, holes and obstacles. Adjust lead weight and line tension to wind, current and casting distance.
After each session, rinse the Nash marker float and its accessories with fresh water to remove silt or sand particles that could prematurely wear components. Store the kit in a dedicated compartment of your bag or tackle box to avoid shocks and unnecessary twists.
Question 1: Is this marker float kit intended only for carp fishing?
Answer: It was primarily designed for carp fishing and precise spot marking, but its marker float system can also be used for other freshwater fisheries requiring detailed bottom readings.
Question 2: Does the float remain visible and operational in dense weedbeds?
Answer: Thanks to its high buoyancy and high-visibility tip, this marker float is designed to surface effectively and remain visible, even when the bottom is covered with vegetation or debris.
